What future can you bank on? Futurist Cecily Sommers knows that making predictions is a fool’s game, however understanding and anticipating change is required practice for those who want to play smart. She also knows that these are challenging times for organizations in all sectors, and that holding onto advantage is a slippery proposition at best. It is indeed tough out there: just as an increasing interconnected global economy requires a broader perspective, competing pressures from near-term priorities and shortened planning horizons cloud the picture. Issuing a challenge to eliminate short-sightedness, Cecily shows how a winning strategy is one that applies foresight to market force.
