How Can the Practice of Linking Past, Present,
and Future Lead to Systemic Change?
Networks are essential to futures thinking - not just to connect futures thinkers with each other but to connect present generations to generations past and future.
If strategic foresight is “step one” in systemic transformation, network formation and strengthening is a critical step two. It’s only through forming partnerships and bridging divides that we can turn thought into action - turn insights into informed decision making. Networks are therefore key to creating change on a meaningful scale.
