Managing future expectations globally
Abstract
In this paper, some of the most important results of the recent work of the author’s Futures Observatory, the culmination of a decade of global research involving several thousand managers and professionals from large organisations, are explored in the context of the long‐range planning undertaken by larger organisations, especially governments, which can positively influence their environments. A range of research techniques has been developed to allow them to identify possible futures and – where possible – to manipulate them. The paper also includes a summary of the fundamental concepts underpinning the work and of the evidence which validates this.
