Digital Maturity for Leadership, for Organisations and for Society

Future Associates is focused on assisting leadership, organisations and central institutions of society to adapt to our changing world. We help in achieving digital maturity across people, business models & strategy, organisational development, technologies and culture.

Our work with people is focused on strengthening leadership in practising the most helpful mindsets, values, behaviours and underlying beliefs in successfully bringing their organisations through a time of deep transformation. We believe that changing your business is starting with how you think about change and how you welcome, encourage and support change.

We assist in rethinking and redesigning business models that have worked well until today but now needs to make your business successful in a very different path to profitability. When new dynamic ecosystems replace your previous markets and industry map. When your capabilities may not apply to the same customers they did before. When you cannot rely on the existing industry playbook and need to rethink your business model accordingly.

We bring our expertise in how to build your strategy around platforms. What the value chain was to the old industrial system, the platform is to the new. A platform is a combination of interoperable standards and systems. It creates a plug-and-play technological base on which a wide range of vendors and customers can interact seamlessly with the same collection of hardware, software, services, and one another.

Fundamental to achieving digital maturity across organisations is to remove the friction associated with strict hierarchies and separating silos. We collaborate with our clients in their adaptation to the digital and networked era in designing, building and supporting new connectivity among people, that is much more than just modified versions of obsolete models. We believe that organisations today should be designed as deeply interconnected networks of autonomous structures that enable constant reconfiguration.

We see technologies as enablers and reinforcement of human capabilities. We help to identify and apply technologies for automation and augmentation. How may AI, IoT, 3D printing, bots and robots help your people to boost your business? What does it require from your leadership and your organisation to make the most of the new technologies in growing your business?

What culture across your leadership and organisation will be most supportive in bringing all the above aspects together in achieving increased digital maturity, in service of the higher purpose of your business? We see culture as a holistic aspect that brings people, business model, strategy and technologies together. We see culture as the most powerful and unique influencer of the collective success of your business in times of constant change and adaptation. Only through a well-defined and carefully applied set of values and a distinct culture can you achieve the required robustness to constantly reinvent your business.

We co-create with our clients to strengthen their adaptability and capacity for the future – Through Purpose, People, Technologies, Ethics and Values.
