Fostering Innovation through Foresight and Collaborative Learning

Innovation thrives when organisations have the foresight to see where the world is heading and the collaborative structures in place to harness diverse perspectives. The Strategic Foresight: Developing Winning Strategies for Unparalleled Value programme, happening on 23rd to 24th April 2025 in Lagos, Nigeria, organised by TEXEM UK, is uniquely designed to foster this culture of innovation across organisations of all sizes and sectors. Instead of relying on reactive strategies, participants will learn how to proactively identify emerging trends and convert them into strategic opportunities for growth.

Collaboration is key to unlocking innovation, and this programme employs group discussions, peer-to-peer learning, and case study explorations to ensure that leaders do not just absorb information but also create new insights collectively. These interactive methods guarantee that participants engage with complex scenarios drawn from real-world organisational challenges, examining how foresight and innovation can transform stumbling blocks into stepping stones. The synergy between established executives from large corporations, forward-thinking managers from small and medium-sized enterprises, and visionary leaders in NGOs and government agencies will spark fresh ideas capable of driving progress in every corner of Nigeria’s diverse economic landscape.

Guiding this innovative journey is Dr. T. B. (Mac) McClelland, Jr. With a history of leading high-net-worth ventures and spearheading strategic transformation in complex environments, Dr. McClelland brings a wealth of global experience. He will leverage TEXEM’s proven and tested methodology—integrating scenario planning, data analytics, and practical workshops—to cultivate strategic thinking. Through interactive approaches such as case studies, peer-to-peer discussions, role play, and group work, participants will gain actionable insights to empower their teams, foster innovation, and embed a culture of continuous improvement. His approach is grounded in practical wisdom, marrying organisational leadership insights with forward-looking strategic models that participants can immediately adapt to their contexts. Whether you are seeking to launch a cutting-edge product line, reinvent service delivery, or reshape internal processes, this programme will equip you with techniques to remain relevant and competitive.

Past delegates have shared their experiences from previous programmes. Otunba Sonya Ogunkuade, Hon. Commissioner and Special Assistant to the President, highlighted the practical approach of the consultants, stating, “I’ve enjoyed their presentations and the real-life examples they incorporate, making the sessions highly engaging and applicable.”
