Do Futurists know the future?

"Futurists do not claim to be able to predict the future. So much of what will happen in the future depends on what we humans decide to do. If we could know the future with certainty, it would mean that the future could not be changed. Yet this is a main purpose of studying the future: to look at what may happen if present trends continue, decide if this is what is desirable, and, if it's not, work to change it. Knowing the trends can empower you for effective action." - Timothy Mack, President World Future Society

So what is the benefit of engaging a Futurist? Futurists keep abreast of developments, in our rapidly changing world, as new opportunities are emerging everywhere. By getting advance notice of these possible changes, you can take action and prepare to benefit from it in all aspects of your life. Understanding trends and possible future developments is some of the most valuable knowledge you can tap into. It enables you to prepare while you still have the opportunity and time to act.

To truly benefit you need to have confidence in a respected source. If you would like to Know First, Be First and Profit First then you need to hear Craig Rispin of The Future Trends Group. For more information please contact support@futuretrendsgroup.com
