Looking into the Future

Running Time: 12 minutes

The films in the Learning a la Carte film series, which is part of the larger TakeAway Training series, describe fresh challenges, innovative solutions and give informed insights into the future of work. Featuring discussions between psychologist Peter Quarry and leading international experts, these programmes are ideal for learning centres, training sessions and managers' own bookshelves.

In this film, learn a simple technique for constructing a big picture view of the 'near term future'. A useful starting point for those wanting to look to and plan for the future. Key learning points include: why it is important to have a forward view; how the future will not be a continuation of the past; the five key questions to develop a 'forward view'; how to use these questions to generate useful data for problem solving and decision making. The programme features psychologist Peter Quarry, interviewing Dr Rick Slaughter, Director, Futures Study Centre, Australia.
