CONSULTING
4 CORE ASPECTS OF FUTURE COMPANIONSHIP
Analysis:
The central task of every leadership personality is looking ahead. To do so, it is essential to assess your own status quo with honesty and clarity. You don’t need assumptions, nor judgements, but only neutral observation and forthright statements. Surveys of staff as well as of clients and ex-clients are essential. Also suppliers and the public can be included.
The team around TREND WATCHER Mathias Haas supports you by holding shadowing processes and through interviews: The own eco-system, the organisation, the existing competences and the business model will be analysed, both internal and external factors of influence are brought to light.
Structure:
No matter if micro or macro, no matter how epic or trivial the trends may be that influence your company: MegaTrends are bearing new opportunities on one hand, but also enormous pressure. The new attitude towards life lets a company appear “modern” or “old fashioned”.
The consultants around Mathias Haas identify the relevant MegaTrends, explain the driving Zeitgeist and put both influences in relation to your organisation.
Every company, every leader is unique. This is why Future Companion Mathias Haas designs an individual and bespoke structure for the “path into that future”. This generates clarity. For an attractive outlook.
Options:
Future companionship gives orientation – because Zeitgeist is “opportunity“ and “risk“ at the same time. It’s essential to carve out the various options to act – comprising certainty and direction. Now is the time to define what you and your organisation should refrain from doing in future.
To achieve that, we’re going to survey clients and markets – with tangible prototypes and “minimum viable products”. Unconventional and quick. No big market research – just testing, testing, testing.
At the same time, we’ll check on your will to invest. Inevitably – as the next question is: Which of the options can you afford?
Positioning:
The world is changing. Your organisation is changing. At the end of the day, also your Unique Selling Point (USP) will change. To reduce this maximum complexity and to integrate the realignment within all levels of hierarchy – this is asking for new approaches. To involve all reference groups, innovative workshops such as with LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® or PLAYMOBIL pro. are a very valuable contribution.
The PLAY SERIOUS AKADEMIE, founded by Mathias Haas, is in business for decades and the market leader when it comes to develop topics around the future, make them transparent and integrate all stake holders.

PUBLICATIONS
As a pragmatic futurologist, THE TREND WATCHER Mathias Haas does not only speak about MegaTrends, but also puts them down on paper. With his book “BETA-BUSINESS”, the future expert already set his statement. The book examines and verifies page by page where today’s future is being made.
“WENN DIE ZUKUNFT ZUM HEUTE WIRD” (When the future turns into now), THE TREND WATCHER is at the forefront. Those who research present their findings in studies. The collaboration with the Innovation Lab of Deutsche Telekom and the Phantastische Bibliothek Wetzlar resulted in a study of a different kind.
Future Expert Mathias Haas explains, why the future might be lost already. Alternatively, how attractive it may be if corporations and organisations perceive and live future as the core of management work. And why it is dangerous not doing so.
