This chapter is excerpted from 'Business Foresight'. Turbulence in recent years has become unprecedentedly wicked. Uncertainty has become a dense fog for business leaders, difficult to tackle. This book uses scenario and other methods like systems thinking to look ahead and time travel to the future. Written by an extremely experienced consultant who has in parallel been a strategy academic at leading business schools for over 30 years, it is a practical toolkit grounded in theory. There are many practical experiences to illustrate 'How to Do It' to complement theory. There are many exercises for the interested reader to try out and many fascinating case studies to take the reader beyond 'what happened and why?' to 'how the process was managed and tips for applying it for yourself'. This is a must-read for business leaders who are finding uncertainties a difficult problem to deal with. For MBA students, it will give them a different dimension for thinking about their course work and projects and provide a real edge over those trapped within a single view of the future, not just a journey but a new way of thinking.
