Books by Patricia Lustig

This is a practical guide for leaders, to aid their practice in strategy, decision making and change. Strategic Foresight is a set of skills and tools used to explore potential futures so organisations can plan for and take advantage of these possible futures. The book first explores how we think about the future, looking at ambiguity and uncertainty and how these play a role in our ability to think into the future. The next section covers models, tools and maps that people will find useful for developing their own Foresight. Then the book considers how to identify emerging trends; what impact they may have on the organisation; the strategic importance of early recognition; and how to apply the knowledge in the organisation.
