Collaboration Standard Work Protocol
Prospective is participative, strategy is confidential and the future is proprietary.
AUGMNT 2024
The objectives
AUGMNT‘s work is to contribute, in a spirit of excellence, to the learning, practice and integration of “strategic” foresight in achieving 3 important objectives:
Strategic planning
Foresight provides an element that is often missing from strategic planning, that is, the management of the uncertainty caused by a future that is unknown as well as the growing dynamic of rapid, discontinuous and interconnected changes.
Change, growth, innovation
By providing a framework for the anticipatory analysis of risks and opportunities, an organization triggers the revelation of changes, innovations and new business opportunities that short or medium term planning cannot do.
Risk and continuity management
AUGMNT is particularly interested in the integration and alignment of foresight practices and its results with risk management, continuity as well as static and dynamic preparation for the future programmes.
The standard
We work with an attitude of collaboration and cooperation, and believe that we have the responsibility to lead well and assert our competence, while supporting the expertise of the organization retaining our services or, where applicable, of the referred client. This affirmation of the respective skills and expertise is important so that the synergy of our respective and collective work is increased. We offer flexibility in our work for the future is not drawn in advance, and thus we must create the conditions conducive to encouraging new mental models, new ideas, futures to explore.
We also work in a spirit of objectivity, transparency and integrity; we say what we do and do what we say. Finally, we also consider ourselves an ambassador for our partners and act as the guardian of the customer relationship.
The protocol
We believe that the collaborative relationship must be driven by the culture, expectations and needs of the organization in order to design the appropriate solutions, interventions and accountability. Our work protocol allows us to clearly establish a client’s needs, highlight the blank spaces to be filled, propose the appropriate solution and agree on a delivery that adapts to the client’s realities while insisting on maintaining a good learning pace. Finally, the training in prospective/foresight is deliverable as an entire or intensive program or in parts or progressive programme in order to encourage its delivery, understanding and adoption according to modalities that may be necessary conditions for an organization.
Referring a client, the COLLAB advantages
When an organization or professional firm wishes to refer us to a related organization or one of its clients, this allows them to:
- Offer a service, a skill without the need to invest to acquire and maintain it.
- Augment their influence and relevance.
- Create a competitive advance and/or advantage.
- Participate in the propagation of the futures literacy.
- Work in a spirit of cooperation by articulating solutions that are appropriate and adapted to the needs of their clients.
When we work with a referred client, the work is carried out in confidentiality and transparency in order to protect the synergy, performance and results of said work.
