Transcript of Future Ideas - Anticipating and influencing the future
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 GOINGON IN THE WORLD THAT WILL
IMPACT OUR CAREERS OR ENTERPRISES
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
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
