are quickly becoming
Industrial Age relics...
Something fundamental has changed!
“All that was ‘normal’ has now evaporated; we have entered
postnormal times, the in-between period where old
orthodoxies are dying, new ones have not yet

Imagination
You can't have a better tomorrow if
you're only thinking about yesterday.
Those who can look ahead with foresight are better equipped to face change and harness opportunity, since they know which decisions today might open up new doors tomorrow.
Applying foresight thinking can turn a
complex and unclear world into
a map of new innovation, opportunities, and possibilities.
