How to begin creating the future today…
• Challenge
Assump9ons
and
Old
Ways
of
Thinking
–
If
you
think
an
idea
is
ridiculous,
ask
yourself
“why?!”
• Start
From
the
Outside
In
–
Join
Twier.
Instead
of
having
to
hunt
down
different
publica:ons
and
ar:cles,
simply
follow
thought
leaders,
champions,
rebels
(from
OUTSIDE
of
your
industry),
and
let
the
insights
come
to
you!
• Think
in
Simultaneous
Mul9ples
–
Forget
about
the
linear
Five
Year
Plan!
Sketch
out
three
or
more
divergent
stories
about
possible
futures
for
your
focal
issue
over
the
next
10
years.
• Pull
Yourself
to
the
Future
-­‐
While
it
is
important
to
remain
aware
of
the
trends
that
will
“push”
us
into
the
future,
we
omen
forget
about
the
other
end
of
the
spectrum,
the
“pull”
of
the
future
which
allows
us
to
visualize
our
aspira:ons
and
create
a
map
to
them,
regardless
of
what
threats
may
emerge.
