The compact process for clear navigation and strategic foresight

Your company is on solid footing. But markets are changing faster than ever. Digitalisation, AI, skills shortages and new customer requirements demand forward-thinking decisions on a daily basis. This is exactly where the p4d Future Compass comes in – a practical solution for small and medium-sized enterprises that does not require a complex and resource-intensive strategy development process.

Many SMEs are highly specialised, innovative and have strong customer relationships. But the daily balancing act between operational business and strategic orientation is becoming increasingly challenging. Time, money and human resources for strategic future planning are scarce. Nevertheless, you need to be able to react quickly, flexibly and strategically. Because if you only react, you risk falling behind.

The p4d Future Compass offers you exactly what you need:
a clearly structured, compact process that helps you position your organisation for the future.

The p4d Future Compass is

  • Collaborative: We actively involve managers and employees – this enables a holistic analysis.
  • Compact and digital: Thanks to the Howspace digital platform, AI-supported evaluation of all contributions and industry trend analysis, the process remains efficient.
  • Structured: A clear process brings structure to your strategic considerations.
  • Future-oriented – through scenarios and strategy development for your company.

The process at a glance

  1. Clarification of the mission:
    In a preliminary discussion, we explore the initial situation and your concerns together with you. We clarify with you how the Future Compass can provide answers to your questions. Optionally, we also conduct in-depth interviews on the current situation of the organisation and its culture.
  2. Internal view of the organisation:
    We identify internal challenges and potential through surveys conducted via our digital participation platform Howspace.
  3. Industry trend analysis:
    Using AI-supported desk research, we analyse global megatrends and their impact on your industry and, consequently, on your organisation.
  4. Development of scenarios and vision for the future:
    In workshops with selected executives, we develop possible future scenarios and define concrete next steps.
  5. Future compass for the organisation:
    We create comprehensive documentation of all process steps and visualise the results to provide an action-oriented roadmap for the coming years.

Our Approach

    We consider both internal structures and external influences in the process, giving you a comprehensive picture of your organisation.
