From Our Files


Once a quarter, we prepare for our clients six new issues analyses, or what we call working papers, which often run from 2 to 5 pages in length. These papers have covered hundreds of emerging issues and trends – and their implications – the great majority of which have come to pass.

From Our Files contains brief synopses of a few of our past working papers as a way to highlight how we have picked up on important issues and trends and helped our clients understand what they mean to them and the businesses they are in. The content of this section will change on a semi-annual basis.

Glossary for Futurists and Trend Watchers

Because the future requires seeing things with new eyes, we often have to create new vocabulary to describe what you are seeing. Our own words (denoted in red), along with many others that bring the future into view, are contained in this futurist glossary. We hope you enjoy reading through it, in whole or in part.
