• These techniques have worked for me. They can work for you.
  I've worked closely with Bob Johansen and IFTF for the last decade. This book is a wonderful summary of all the meetings, conversations, techniques, and forecasts - of all the things I've learned working with Bob. I've used all of these techniques and approaches - repeatedly. They work for me. They can work for you.

• How to use future forecasting
  This is a very readable book that demystifies "futurism" while simultaneously explaining how foresight work focused 10, 20, or even 50 years into the future can be indispensably helpful to organizations, whether profit-based or with other missions.
  Inside the book jacket is an actual Map of the Future, which is explained in detail in the text.
  If you're responsible for strategy or innovation, this is one of those few books that is undeniably worth the investment.
