Book excerpt: "Based on an international review of the key strategy problems faced by over one hundred leading companies, Courtney reveals how executives can develop 20/20 foresight - a view of the future that separates what can be known from what can't. While executives with 20/20 foresight can rarely develop perfect forecasts of the future, says Courtney, they can isolate the "residual uncertainty" they face and use this insight to create competitive advantage in today's turbulent markets."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: The forces transforming tomorrow are profound, powerful and accelerating. The Internet, social networks, crowd-sourcing, gaming dynamics, new information and communication technologies, robotics, biotechnology and nanotechnology are all converging to transform everything from agriculture, energy, education and law enforcement to healthcare, manufacturing, banking and finance, retail and transportation. In Foresight 20/20, professional futurists and business forecasters Jack Uldrich and Simon Anderson have developed thirteen scenarios designed to aid the reader in understanding how a variety of technological trends are transforming the world of tomorrow. The trends are exciting and scary, positive or negative, prosaic and profound, and will impact both one's personal or professional life. As Cervantes said centuries ago, "Forewarned, forearmed; to be prepared is half the victory" Foresight 20/20 goes one step further and not only prepares the reader for victory but also instills in th

Book excerpt: We've all been told the key to greater success is to set bigger goals and put in longer hours, but the truth is a bit more complex. We actually need realistic goals and a system for achieving them. We need better foresight. If you don't have the life you want, the problem isn't you. The problem is your approach and the people you allow to influence you. Working harder, waking up earlier, and making more sacrifices alone won't get you there-you need to break the unproductive habits of your past before you can create the future you want. Nathan Lancry has spent nearly 30 years developing a system for achieving better foresight, and it's backed by modern neuroscience, social psychology, and his own experiences. In Foresight is 20/20 you'll meet the motorcycle collector who made a $250,000 mistake, the airline pilot who killed the world's top musician, the cult leader who convinced dozens to sell everything, and the president who hired his worst enemies. You'll learn how to: Set better goals Find the perfect mentors Stay humble on the path to success Understand your shortcomings Improve your relationships And much more Foresight is 20/20 will change how you think about talent. Whether you're a business owner looking to level up your team, a world-class performer working to break through a plateau, or anyone looking to get more out of life, the system laid out in this book will help you. Hindsight has always been 20/20. Thanks to Nathan's framework, foresight can finally be just as clear.

Book excerpt: In 2020s Foresight, authors Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen seek to "wake up" Christian leaders and those whom they serve to the realities that leaders in other fields must deal with all the time. We are no longer simply living in changing times. We live in the reality that we are racing into a new world of accelerating change. The authors want to enable leaders in churches and Christian organizations to learn how to lead in this time of acceleration. They focus on three vital practices: foresight (analyzing the accelerating changes and anticipating new opportunities and strategies for addressing change); reflection (discerning biblical purposes for times like these); and creating innovative ways to engage new challenges so as to advance God's purposes in our lives, congregations, and organizations in the 2020s. The book is intended to equip Christian leaders to anticipate some of the new challenges in the 2020s; discover God's shalom purposes for our lives, the church, and God's world; and create innovative new possibilities for our lives, communities, and congregations that both engage new opportunities and advance God's purposes.

Book excerpt: The world changes like the patterns in a kaleidoscope: trends expand, contract, break up, melt, disintegrate and disappear, while others are formed. Change – as opposed to stasis – is our normal condition, the only certainty in our lives, hence the need to create tools that provide organizations with the means to tackle change and navigate complexity. We must accept the reality of constant change and be prepared for a heavy shift in perspective: interconnection versus separation, acceleration versus linearity and discontinuity versus continuity. Anticipating the future requires more than the traditional predictive models (forecasting) based on the forward projection of past experiences. Advanced methods use anticipation logic (foresight) and build probable scenarios taking into account weak signals, emerging trends, coexisting presents and potential paths of evolution. Corporate foresight is fundamental to interpret and lead change. The two cornerstones of foresight are organization and management. As concerns organization, the authors advocate the separation of research (oriented to the market of tomorrow) from development (oriented to the market of today), the establishment of a foresight unit and the concentration of research activities mainly on the acquisition and recombination of external know-how. As regards management, after an overview of state-of-the-art literature on forecasting methods, the authors propose the implementation of a "future coverage" methodology, which enables companies to measure and verify the consistency between trends, strategic vision and offered products. These organizational and managing tools are then tested in a case study: the Italian company Eurotech SpA, a leader in the ICT sector.

Book excerpt: THE NEW AMERICAN REALITY Today's headlines are jampacked with news of the latest foreclosures, employment layoffs, and stock market roller coaster rides. You may be asking yourself, "How did this happen?" or "Where does this leave my family and me?" The answers are in your hands. Money Momentum delves deep into the nitty-gritty information surrounding the Great Recession and we don't pull any punches. We go beyond the facts and figures to explain what debt does to your health, your emotions and the hazards debt places on raising a family. You'll also learn how the effects of poverty can affect stress levels and exacerbate medical conditions. Unlike the media and other forms of financial advice, we won't leave you hanging. First, we'll describe debt-reduction solutions that have been used in the past and why they don't work. Then we'll introduce you to an all-inclusive solution that is the result of years of research and studying many different financial strategies. This solution uses a combination of several key financial strategies and is necessary to achieve the most effective path to financial freedom in today's constantly changing world.
