The Future Habit: How to Gain an Edge with Ai- Driven Foresight - Hardcover

by Nicklas Berild Lundblad (Author), David Skelton (Author)

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.

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.
