ALT-FUTURES
ALT- : a version or versions intended to challenge the traditional version.
The future is a space of alternatives, of possibilities that cannot be predicted. The need to look above and beyond the immediate toward a multiplicity of perspectives is necessary to create the preferred future we need to continue and thrive.
3 Horizons | Strategy
STRATEGIC DEFICIT

Foresight allows organizations to anticipate deviations from current standards and trends.
“Managing internal change by foresight, rather than by crisis, is only possible if the change in the environment is seen on time”
— Arie de Geus
This increased awareness of risks and opportunities provided by foresight constitutes the basis for more effective planning and the development of resilience or even antifragility measures.
The future is not what it used to be !
By cultivating such a proactive approach, organizations reevaluate their strategies to achieve their goals, explore alternative paths, and prepare for potential obstacles.
Asking “what if?”, helps us push our thinking to consider developments that may only be remote possibilities.
If our decisions and actions of today influence the future, conversely, a future chosen influences our decisions and actions of today.
