THE SEMINAR
Instructions For Future Thinking
The One Day Future Workshop with Matthias Horx

How do we think and feel about the future? How useful or harmful are visions and predictions for a company’s culture? In this personal and motivating one-day seminar, participants learn to critically question their own world related future thinking and about the future culture in individuals, companies and society, which is often characterised by deep-seated misunderstandings about the nature of change processes. The most important tools of the new integrated forecasting system help to improve our increasing sense of the future.
