This site is about the future...Your Future!
How to think about and plan for the future...Your life, Your family, or Your small business
Until the middle of the twentieth century, many people believed that the future was pre-ordained, that there was only one future for each of us. In the 1950s and 1960s, think tanks and academics started changing that assumption, recognizing that the future was not pre-ordained and that there are many futures available to each of us. In short, we can each take actions to change our future!
Methods were developed by large corporations and governments to explore, understand, and plan for the future. The methods included trend analysis, understanding forces of change, scenario development, strategic planning and action plans. All developed by, and for, very large organizations.
This web site explains and demonstrates how these same methods can be applied on smaller scales...to the lives of individuals and families and to small and very small businesses. Anywhere in the world!
