Multi-day programs. Custom-built. No filler.

Ron Shaich

Our approach has always been to discover today what will matter tomorrow, and then to transform our company into a future that is unfolding before us.

– Ron Shaich, Founder & Former President and CEO of Panera Bread

Organizational Training.

The future finds us in two ways: gradually, then suddenly. By the time the implications of accelerating change become clear, it’s often too late to respond.

Our programs are built for the leaders who saw it coming and want to do something about it. Multi-day deep work, not one-hour talks. We don’t teach theory – we build capacity. Your team walks out with frameworks they actually use, not slides they file away.

Our Programs.

Practical Futurism

Stop getting lost in tech-speak and hype. This program turns your leaders into “practical futurists” – able to spot what’s coming early, test assumptions cheaply, and make decisions before everyone else catches on.

What participants gain:

  • Tools to map and explore the range of possible futures for your business
  • Frameworks to spot emerging opportunities and threats before they’re obvious
  • Practices for testing and communicating future scenarios to stakeholders
  • A team that acts on signals instead of waiting for consensus

Format: Multi-day immersive workshop or modular program integrated into your existing L&D.

Disrupt Disruption

The popular stories about disruption consistently miss the actual forces that take down market leaders. When the stories are wrong, the lessons are wrong – and the opportunities slip past.

Drawing on Pascal’s bestselling book and hundreds of interviews with successful innovators, this program gives leaders a sharper framework for spotting where disruption actually comes from – and what to do before it lands on your industry.

What participants gain:

  • A working model of how disruption actually plays out (not the myths)
  • Frameworks to identify where your organization is vulnerable – and where the opportunity is
  • Strategies for moving from being disrupted to becoming the disruptor
  • Tools for the leadership conversation about what to do next

Format: Intensive workshop, or a multi-week program where cohorts apply the work between sessions.

OUTLEARN

The strongest organizations don’t have better strategies – they have a better relationship with failure. Drawing from Pascal’s new book OUTLEARN, this program lays out a practical operating system for getting stronger under stress.

What participants gain:

  • The five OUTLEARN frameworks for getting stronger under stress
  • Tools to distinguish productive stressors from dangerous risks
  • Operational practices that make failure cheap and learning fast
  • The shift from defending what you have to outlearning what’s coming

Format: Workshop series or embedded program for transformation teams.

Delivery Options.

Five formats. Pick what fits:

  • Standalone intensive – multi-day immersive experiences
  • Modular series – spread over weeks or months for deeper integration
  • Embedded programs – integrated into your existing L&D curriculum
