摘要

One does not usually go looking at the future unless one or more of the following have happened: there is some sense that things could be going along much better at the organization or business in question; there is less internal agreement on a clear organizational vision than might be desired; the outside forces which affect associations appear less and less controllable; and the issues at stake have grown dramatically in their impact, complexity and speed of change. The future is a mysterious and often confusing place, but not just because "we do not, and cannot, know much about the future" (Wilson, 1998). The challenge of "thinking about the future" arises as well from the incredibly ambitious nature of the task. Not only can "The Future" cover every possible factor and dynamic affecting you and your organization, but the unlimited timeline involved in looking at "all events following the present" is simply nonsense. How far ahead should you look? Two months, two years, two decades? While some in the futures field hold forth on trends and events 100 years or even a 1,000 years in the future, the rapid pace of change today gives us plenty of issues to wrestle with on a 10- to-20-year timeline, which is the one recommended specifically for organizations just getting started in the foresight business.
