FUTURES UPDATE - TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE
This is the final pillar of Inayatullah's 'Six Pillars' methodology for organisational and societal transformation. I find this methodology the most effective way of navigating the anxity associated with change, particularly significant change.
The transformation pillar is the 'how' pillar. Futures thinking and methodologies uses foresight to seek clarification of the 'what' question. What future do we desire? We then use hindsight to seek answers to the 'why' question. Why do we do what we have always done and get what we always get? From foresight and hindsight we seek answers to the 'how' question. The how question is insight. From foresight (what) and hindsight (why) we get insight (how). How to create our preferred future (s).
