- Synopsis
- Johansen explains the importance of tuning into the future for business, government, and nonprofit leaders wanting to solve problems in the current world of "volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. " He details how to implement the Institute for the Future's Foresight to Insight to Action Cycle, including an explanation of ten-year forecasting, the Institute's map of the future, differences between problems and dilemmas, and using strategies such as stories, immersion experiences, and small-group workshops to gain insight and inspire others. The process in action is then described, using examples from the Institute's experiences with leaders in companies, government agencies, foundations, and nonprofits. Johansen is associated with the Institute for the Future, a nonprofit research group in Silicon Valley. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
