Build the team that's prepared for what's next.
Future Value Framework™ workshops help people understand what will keep them relevant, what can expand their impact, and how leaders can make more deliberate decisions about where and how to invest in talent.
These are highly interactive learning experiences—not presentations about a framework. Participants reflect, discuss, test assumptions, work through realistic scenarios, and practice applying Future Value thinking to themselves and the people they lead.
Available onsite or live virtual. Workshops are designed for organizational delivery.
Future Value is learned by working with it.
The idea is simple: the value someone creates today is not the same as their capacity to keep creating value as work changes. The harder work is learning to recognize the difference, examine Future Value across multiple dimensions, and make better decisions because of what you see.
That is why Future Value workshops are built around active application. Participants do not simply hear the concepts—they use them to examine real questions about relevance, impact, development, contribution, and talent investment.
Choose Your Path.
Future Value Fundamentals™ creates the common foundation. From there, participants can go deeper into their own Future Value or leaders can learn how to make better investment decisions for the people and teams they lead.
Future Value Fundamentals™
A highly interactive introduction to Future Value and the six dimensions that shape the capacity to continue creating meaningful value over time.
Participants build a shared Future Value language, examine how value is changing, and reflect on their own strengths, vulnerabilities, and opportunities to grow.
What You'll Explore
- Why Future-Ready and Future Value are related—but different
- How changing work alters what creates value
- The six dimensions of Future Value Capacity
- Stay Relevant and Expand Your Impact
- Personal strengths and vulnerabilities across the six dimensions
- How different combinations of dimensions create different Future Value patterns
- Where focused growth could strengthen Future Value
What You'll Do
Participants move between individual reflection, paired and table activities, whole-group discussion, scenarios, and practical Future Value experiments they can continue after the workshop.
What You'll Leave With
A clear understanding of Future Value, a working knowledge of all six dimensions, greater insight into personal strengths and vulnerabilities, and practical ways to continue building Future Value after the workshop.
Investing in Your Future Value™
This workshop helps individuals move from understanding Future Value to making more deliberate choices about where to focus their own development, experiences, relationships, exposure, and learning.
Participants learn how Current Contribution and Future Value Capacity answer different questions—and how investment choices should change based on what actually needs to grow.
What You'll Explore
- Current Contribution versus Future Value Capacity
- The Future Value Investment Grid™ and its nine positions
- Why a Grid position is a starting point—not the decision
- When to strengthen Current Contribution, Future Value Capacity, or both
- How six-dimension strengths and vulnerabilities change the investment response
- How to protect strengths while addressing consequential constraints
- Development through experiences, exposure, relationships, learning, and technology
- How limited time and resources change investment choices
What You'll Do
Participants work through individual cases and investment scenarios, compare alternatives, test tradeoffs, and practice selecting investments that address the right Future Value need.
Important Distinction
This workshop teaches the investment logic and judgment behind the Framework. It does not substitute for the formal Future Value Assessment™ or a personalized Future Value Investment Strategy™.
Investing in the Future Value of Others™
Designed for managers and leaders, this workshop applies Future Value thinking to one of leadership's hardest responsibilities: deciding how to invest finite development, attention, opportunity, support, and stretch across different people and needs.
Participants practice separating evidence from assumption, distinguishing Current Contribution from Future Value Capacity, and choosing differentiated investment responses.
What You'll Explore
- Current Contribution versus Future Value Capacity
- Evidence, intent, impact, and common rating bias
- The Future Value Investment Grid™ and nine investment positions
- Differentiating development, opportunity, support, exposure, stretch, and coaching
- Low Current Contribution / high Future Value and high Current Contribution / low Future Value
- Portfolio thinking when leadership resources are finite
- How to communicate investment decisions responsibly
- Individual and group-level investment scenarios
What You'll Do
Leaders rate evidence, compare judgments, work through talent cases, use the Investment Grid, debate competing investment strategies, and practice targeting the intervention to the actual constraint.
Important Distinction
The workshop builds investment judgment. Formal individual or team Grid placement requires the applicable Future Value Assessment™ and Current Contribution assessment through the Future Value Investment Strategy™.
One foundation. Two ways to go deeper.
Future Value Fundamentals™ establishes the language, six dimensions, and core Future Value lens. The two investment workshops build on that foundation for different audiences and different decisions.
Future Value Fundamentals™
Understand Future Value, the six dimensions, and what strengthens the ability to stay relevant and expand impact.
Investing in Your Future Value™
Apply the investment lens to your own continued growth, relevance, and impact.
Investing in the Future Value of Others™
Apply the investment lens to development and talent decisions for others.
The framework changes the questions people ask.
Try three of the kinds of judgment questions that surface during a Future Value workshop. Select a statement to reveal the Future Value lens.
Two employees are delivering the same strong results today. Should they receive the same development investment?
Someone is the go-to expert and almost impossible to replace today. Does that automatically mean high Future Value?
A manager wants to send a struggling employee to training. Is that a Future Value investment?
It starts with a workshop. It ends with lasting change.
The live workshop creates the insight and shared language. Future Value Reinforcement™ helps keep that learning active after the session—then organizations can extend the framework through assessment, investment strategy, and continued application.
Experience the Framework
Build understanding through reflection, discussion, practice, and application in a facilitated Future Value workshop.
Keep the Learning Active
Use structured follow-through to revisit key ideas, apply them in real work, and strengthen transfer beyond the workshop.
Apply Future Value More Deeply
Continue through formal assessment, Future Value Investment Strategy™, or broader application in development and talent decisions.
Choose by the capability you want to build.
The right starting point depends less on job title than on the question participants need to be able to answer when the workshop is over.
What is Future Value—and how can I build mine?
Build the foundational language and understand the six dimensions that shape continued relevance and impact.
Future Value Fundamentals™Where should I invest in my own continued growth?
Learn how to make more deliberate decisions about your own development, experience, exposure, and Future Value.
Investing in Your Future Value™How should I invest differently across the people I lead?
Build the judgment needed to separate contribution from capacity and target leadership investment to the right need.
Investing in the Future Value of Others™Bring Future Value to your people.
Workshops are facilitated live and designed around active participation, discussion, and application.
Onsite
Bring the Future Value experience to your organization, leadership meeting, retreat, conference, or professional-development event.
Live Virtual
Interactive facilitated delivery for distributed teams and organizations, with activities adapted for a virtual environment.
Build the thinking people need before the future makes it urgent.
