Management of the future

A future-proof organization needs future-proof leadership. This book conveys the ten central building blocks of strategic foresight. By working through them, you will gain a mature awareness of the future and the necessary skills to set up suitable processes and methods within your own organization that are fit for the future.

Each of the three phases of the foresight process (scanning, foresight, transfer) is covered in detail. Readers are given an overview of the various methods of future management. Using practical examples, the authors show how decision-makers in all organizations can systematically develop future scenarios and transfer them to their own organizational context. Questions for understanding round off the chapters.

Readers thus acquire the future competence that can make a decisive contribution to the future at many interfaces in and to organizations: Strategy, controlling and consulting, leadership and transformation, innovation and risk management, marketing and communication.
