Navigating the Future(s)
A Manual of Futures Studies and Strategic Foresight
- 344 Pages
- 31 Chapters
- 83 Exercises
The book is finished. It has not been published. Subscribers read it inside this platform as it releases in waves — one part at a time, ahead of the public edition in autumn. Respond to a structured question on each chapter while the text is still open, and contributors are named in the acknowledgements of the published edition.
The feedback window closes 21 September, when the manuscript goes to the editor.
No account needed. "Megatrends: Surfing the Big Waves" opens at Nazaré, where the underwater canyon funnels Atlantic swells into the largest surfable waves on Earth. Nobody there proposes to stop the wave. That is the argument of the chapter.
The Book's Six Parts
- I — Foundations of Futures Thinking — The human capacity to imagine what does not yet exist, the plastic nature of time, and the geometry through which the field has learned to think. 6 chapters
- II — Strategic Foresight Explained — What strategic foresight actually is, and what it is not: how it differs from forecasting, and how anticipation becomes action. 4 chapters
- III — The Landscape of Change: Core Concepts — The working vocabulary of change — megatrends, trends, weak signals, wildcards and critical uncertainties — through which everything in the method is seen and sorted. 7 chapters
- IV — The Method: Scanning, Sensing & Acting — One integrated framework walked from end to end — the part of the book everything else exists to serve. 6 chapters
- V — Applying Strategic Foresight — What the method is for: strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship, the future-ready organization, and a worked example run end to end. 4 chapters
- VI — Foresight in the Age of AI — The deepest discontinuity the field has faced since scenario planning, and what it asks of the human who frames, judges and decides. 4 chapters
The Learning Companion
83 Exercises, Sequenced for Real Work
The Companion is not a summary of the book. It is the practice apparatus — the same 83 exercises re-sequenced into the order a real project runs, not the order the book is read. A subscriber can learn the method, run an engagement, or move between the two. The book teaches; the Companion works.
