Prepared by a working group of the “Club de Paris des Directeurs de l’Innovation”, of which John Crowley was a member, the White Paper reviews current thinking and practices on weak signals and makes proposals for improved management in a range of sectors.
The seven key recommendations of the White Paper are:
1. Be attentive and open-minded
2. Don’t get overwhelmed by information
3. Avoid the bias of wishful thinking
4. Adopt a transversal organization
5. Give continuity to the project
6. Diversify the sensors used
7. Create internal awareness of the importance of the topic
