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.
