Future Ideas - Anticipating and influencing the future
1.
2. Scanning is the process of
looking for the signs of change
in the world. No matter how
minor they are, we need to
consider what the world be
like if that change were
to become significant
GIVEN THE ORDINARY,
OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
WE HAVE, IT IS HARD TO KEEP
UP WITH CHANGES GOING
ON IN THE WORLD THAT WILL
IMPACT OUR CAREERS
OR ENTERPRISES
3. We cannot predict the future,
but we can still practice
adapting to change by seriously
considering a range of plausible
futures that will change the
context of our careers and
enterprises
SURPRISING
DEVELOPMENTS OFTEN
COME UPON US SUDDENLY
SO WE ARE UNPREPARED
TO CAPITALIZE ON
THEM OR DEFEND
AGAINST THEM
4. Most of us influence the
future by taking small,
reasonable steps in the
direction of an overall
vision for a long period
of time
MOST PEOPLE’S JOB IS TO
CREATE A BETTER THE
FUTURE THAN THE ONE THAT
WOULD HAPPEN WITHOUT
THEIR INTERVENTION, BUT
WE ARE OFTEN UNSURE
ABOUT HOW TO ACT
TO CREATE THAT
CHANGE
