Future-Back AI Vision Setting
What is this for?
A strategic exercise to imagine your business at its Wave 3 transformation, when AI has redefined your industry, workflows, and value creation. Instead of adapting AI to today’s practices, this tool helps you picture the AI-native future and then work backward to chart the steps that get you there.
Why this matters
Instead of adapting AI to today’s practices, this tool helps you picture the AI-native future and then work backward to chart the steps that get you there.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1
Envision Wave 3: Ask, “If we rebuilt our business with AI at the core, what would it look like?”
Step 2
Define outcomes: Identify what’s different in how you create value, serve customers, and operate.
Step 3
Work backwards: Map the mid-term (Wave 2) and short-term (Wave 1) steps that would logically lead to that future.
Step 4
Stress-test your vision: Challenge assumptions by asking how an AI-native competitor would disrupt you.
