Foresight-led strategy
Futures thinking. Real-world complexity. Practical strategies.
Developing a strategy isn’t just about setting goals—it’s about making meaningful decisions in an uncertain world. I help leadership teams navigate that complexity by facilitating strategy processes that are grounded in the realities of your business today and forward looking to a different world tomorrow. I bring the tools, frameworks, and facilitation expertise to guide you and your team in shaping your own path forward - together.
What sets my approach apart is a strong focus on foresight - thinking deeply about tomorrow’s world before devising a strategy to move into that future. Using methodologies drawn from the field of future studies, I support your team in exploring possible scenarios that could impact your business: economic shifts, industry trends, regional developments, and more.
By first understanding the range of possible futures you might be facing, your strategy becomes more resilient, responsive, and relevant.
This is foresight-led strategy - grounded in today’s realities, but intentionally designed for tomorrow. Whether you’re defining a three to five year vision or tackling shorter-term strategic decisions, I create a space where your team can think boldly, plan clearly, and align around a shared direction with confidence.

“We engaged Rob Broster to run a Strategic Planning Session and found his help invaluable – he connected with our team, participated in the planning and preparation of the event, and set a clear path for the best approach. In the event itself, he guided us through an effective process that helped us identify where we need to go next as an organization. He is adept at knowing when to push and when to pull, and this ensured participants remained engaged and involved throughout. We were pleased with the outcomes and believe Rob played a critical role in getting us there. I would highly recommend Rob for this type of work.” Darragh McGillicuddy
