Abstract

Out with the beaded curtains, dripping candles, and crystal balls, says Roy Pearson in this, his first column as Foresight’s Forecasting Intelligence Editor. These days, trying to foretell the future has become a respected and respectable line of work. Roy writes that today’s futurists utilize methods and practices most forecasters can admire, adapt, and incorporate into their own processes – and very possibly improve their forecasting accuracy as a result.
