There are many different predictions and scenarios. The problem is that we do not know enough about the future. The challenge is to learn how to use this science and to find out what is relevant or not.

During the lectures the following questions will be answered:
• What do futurists 'know' about the future of society, economy, technology, nature and politics?
• What does the future look like, seen from different angles?
• What does the future tell us about the present?
• The corporate future?
• Think about the future and develop a vision and define the necessary and widely supported actions you and your co-workers have to take.
