Using Futures Approaches: a guide to getting started

If you are considering building a long term thinking capacity to inform your organisation’s strategy development, or if you just want to find out more about what futures approaches are about and how you can use them in your work, then this Guide will give you the insight you need.

I’ve done the hard work for you in developing this guide. Based on my experience and study since 1999, I’ve merged theory and practice to provide an easy-to-read and practical guide to getting started with using futures approaches.

The Using Futures Approaches guide takes you through the major steps involved in starting to build and integrate an effective scanning process into your existing strategy development activity:

  • the conceptual framework underpinning futures approaches,
  • getting started – your positioning in your organisation,
  • doing futures work and designing futures approaches,
  • measuring outcomes of your futures work with an exclusive set of futures program benchmarks, and
  • possible challenges you might face.

This guide is a consolidation of the wisdom of leading futurists, and is based on my practical experience in using futures processes in organisations. The knowledge and advice in this guide will help you to get started on the way to enhancing and strengthening your organisation’s strategy development.

You will have access to a guide that provides all the thinking and knowledge you will need to help you get started in using futures approaches in your organisation. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain by exploring how you can use futures approaches to strengthen your strategy.
