Envisioning What's Next: Shaping Your Future with AI

Instructor: Christine Perfetti

Strategic Visioning and Facilitated Team Experiences

AI is changing how organizations operate, make decisions, and serve their customers. But the opportunity goes beyond adopting new tools and accelerating workflows.

I help leaders and cross-functional teams explore how AI could reshape their organization, envision new possibilities, and make thoughtful decisions about where to focus.

Drawing on my AI Decision Compass, these interactive experiences combine strategic conversations, collaborative visioning, and opportunity prioritization to help teams move from uncertainty to shared direction.

Innovation Labs: Strategic Visioning and Team Alignment

Great ideas emerge when people with different perspectives come together to explore possibilities and make meaningful decisions.

I design and facilitate collaborative visioning experiences that help leadership teams uncover opportunities, build alignment, and establish a shared direction.

Through strategic conversations, guided exercises, and opportunity prioritization, teams move from competing perspectives to a vision they can collectively shape and act on.

“Christine Perfetti built an incredible workshop format to generate ideas and align teams towards a breakthrough strategy and vision. I would highly encourage anyone looking to improve the fit and differentiation of their products and services to attend and learn the techniques.”

Strategic Research to Inform What's Next

The most valuable research doesn’t simply answer questions. It challenges assumptions, reveals opportunities, and changes how organizations think.

I help organizations build qualitative research capabilities that connect customer understanding to business decisions, product strategy, and future opportunities.

My work has helped organizations including GoFundMe and TuneIn establish research programs that inform decisions across the business.

“Christine Perfetti built the customer research competency across GoFundMe. Her insights were instrumental in guiding our product strategy and roadmap priorities. A customer-centric approach to product planning is now core to our business.”

– Daniel Cox, VP and Head of Product Management, GoFundMe

Lift Up Connections: Reimagining the Second Half of Work and Life

I am also the founder of Lift Up Connections, a community and learning platform helping women envision and build more expansive second halves of work and life.

Drawing on my background in social psychology, research, and visioning, I bring women together to explore new possibilities, recognize their strengths and Career Capital, and intentionally shape what’s next.

Through Reimagine Your Career, Women Reimagining, collective cohorts, and the Lift Up Podcast, we’re exploring what it means to create a future that reflects who we’re becoming.

“At the beginning, I wasn’t sure what to make of the process of designing my next act. I really appreciated all of the support and feedback I got from my council. It’s amazing that I ask people in every strategic conversation, what do you want to achieve?, and then can’t see it from the inside until someone else says it. Thanks for bringing us all together, Christine. What a gift!”
