What future trends are you forecasting? Strengthening your foresight skills Created by Thought Leaders Mentor, Alicia Curtis www.aliciacurtis.com

Who are Futurists and What is Foresight?

Futurists are reverse historians. We try and peer over the horizon so we can make better decisions today. In order to make wise decisions today about your future, ﬁnd out what you might expect to happen in the years to come. Then you can do things now to help you to achieve your most desirable future. Resident Thought Leaders Futurist, Craig Rispin

Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with th e future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight. Henry R. Luce You can analyze the past, but you ne ed to design the future. That is the difference betwee n suffering the future and enjoying it. Edward de Bono
