Drawing on cognitive science, applied foresight and decades of strategicexperience, the book introduces an actionable framework for cultivating a 'futureedge' - a repeatable process of anticipating, adapting to and shaping emergingrealities. It offers a methodicalapproach to working with the future in real-world contexts - throughpredictions, pre-mortems, scenario work, narrative exploration and the creativeintegration of AI. Having spent years embedding foresight in companies at theforefront of the tech revolution, the authors ensure that The FutureHabit will make a positive difference to all readers who follow itslessons. But this is not only astrategic playbook: it's a generous and optimistic reassessment of our sharedtomorrow. By prompting us to expand our mental horizons and consider theabundant possibilities of long-term thinking, the book shows that the future isnot something we predict; it's something we practise.
