The Future Habit

In fostering The Future Habit, business leaders can develop the muscle memory to deal confidently with the future and give themselves a competitive advantage over those stuck in a status quo mindset. The Future Habit is a practical and provocative guide for building the one capability every organisation, team and leader needs: a disciplined habit of working with the future. Drawing on cognitive science, applied foresight and decades of strategic experience, the book introduces an actionable framework for developing ‘the future edge‘ - a repeatable process of anticipating, adapting to and shaping emerging realities. Unlike most books that treat foresight as trendspotting or speculative fiction, The Future Habit insists on one thing: the future is not something we predict; it‘s something we practice. It offers a methodical approach to working with the future in real-world contexts - through scenario work, predictions, premortems, narrative exploration and the integration of AI. The authors have spent years embedding foresight in companies at the forefront of the tech revolution and use this experience to ensure that The Future Habit is a practical book that will make a positive difference to all readers who follow its lessons.
