 Thinking About the Future Thinking about the Future, co-edited by Andy Hines
and Peter Bishop, distills the expertise of three dozen senior foresight
professionals into a set of essential guidelines for carrying out successful
strategic foresight. Presented in a highly scannable yet personable style, each
guideline includes an explanation and rationale, key steps, a case example, and resources for
further study.
The 115 guidelines are organized into six sequential categories
that mirror the phases of a strategic foresight activity: Framing, Scanning,
Forecasting, Visioning, Planning, and Acting. Executives will find both the
guidelines and the framework invaluable for understanding what it takes to
successfully explore the future, while analysts who actively carry out
strategic foresight projects will find the book an indispensable reference that
they turn to again and again.
