Management of the Future

A sustainable organization needs sustainable leadership. This book provides the ten key components of strategic foresight. Those who work through them gain the mature future awareness and the necessary competence to establish the appropriate processes and methods within their own organization in a sustainable way.

Each of the three phases of the foresight process (scanning, foresight, transfer) is discussed in detail. The readers will gain 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 about understanding round off the chapters.

Readers thus acquire the future-oriented competencies that can make a decisive contribution to the future of organizations at many interfaces within and between them: strategy, controlling and consulting, leadership and transformation, innovation and risk management, marketing, and communication.
