Read this because of Stewart Brand's "The Clock of the Long Now", and because I thought it might be helpful if I changed my career at my company to something more related to scenario planning and systems dynamics. Not a hard book to read, but it's not readily apparent how something that seems a relatively simple process could have such a huge impact in various businesses. Guess I need to see it in action sometime.

Consider multiple scenarios for the future, focusing on uncertainties and what could make your assumptions fall through. Practice mental preparation for alternate futures according to their likelihood, and push to encounter new ideas. Scenario-writing is a lot like screen-writing, in devising plots and selling the ideas to those in charge. [Also entertaining for early nineties predictions about the coming generation.]
