In these five decades we learned a lot, and we still believe—even more strongly than before—that systematic thinking about the future is absolutely essential for helping people make better choices today, whether you are an individual or a member of an educational institution or government organization. We view short-termism as the greatest threat not only to organizations but to society as a whole. In my 20 years at the Institute, I’ve developed five core principles for futures thinking:
Forget about predictions.
Focus on signals.
Look back to see forward.
Uncover patterns.
Create a community.
