To handle increasingly uncertain situations, we need to learn how
to anticipate what is coming. Futures Studies have developed robust
frameworks for working with possible futures, including the
development of scenarios and visions able to guide decisions in the
present. Measuring risks and understanding uncertainties, and
distinguishing what is only complicated from what is actually
complex; these are part and parcel of working with the future. This
book presents the phases of a future exercise, and for each phase
explains the tools and methods to be used. Military tactics, legacy
systems, future laboratories in the classroom, and resilient
strategies are fields where a new profession, that of the futurist,
shows its strength. To become a futurist, however, we need to be
able to leave the ordinary and see new opportunities for action.
