Port community providers ponder the future

[ September 2, 2024   //   Chris Lewis ]

The International Port Community Systems Association (IPCSA) has launched a Foresight initiative to consider future scenarios and provide a global framework and pathway.

The exercise will bring together IPCSA members and external experts at a series of three regional two-day workshops, to be held over the course of a year. Brainstorming sessions will develop ‘this-could-happen’ scenarios, their potential impacts and possible responses from the Port Community Systems sector.

The exercise will enable IPCSA and its members to prepare for alternative futures and associated risks, understand emerging markets, industry developments and behavioural changes and adapt and innovate in products and services for future sustainability and resilience.

The IPCSA Foresight exercise is being headed up by Uwe Liebschner, Customs Consultant and IPCSA’s Customs Lead, working with Inga Morton, IPCSA General Manager, and business psychologist, facilitator and coach Will Sambrook, CEO of Akenham, who will act as moderator at the Foresight workshops.
