Many futurists believe that a good way to better understand people´s future-oriented beliefs, behaviour and decisions, is to use their world views as a starting point. Hence, following this logic, the key to better understanding our future-oriented reasoning is to know our world views, that constitute the lenses that we use.

What do organisations need to do to develop good strategies and prepare for the future in a rapidly changing and increasingly complex world?

To future-proof decision-making, organisations need a combination of systematic foresight, proactive visioning, plus hands-on making of the future we want. As famous sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clark put it “Unless we invent a better future, we won´t have one of any kind.”

In a world full of change, an in depth approach to foresight is needed, encouraging organisations to transition from technical fixes to adaptive responses, or even transformative journeys where they change as they create new futures.
