Futures thinking is about seeing new possibilities

Thinking about the future allows us to imagine what kind of future we want to live in and how we can get there. In her twenty years as a professional futurist Marina Gorbis has developed five core principles for futures thinking:

  1. Forget about predictions.
  2. Focus on signals.
  3. Look back to see forward.
  4. Uncover patterns.
  5. Create a community.
