New Shoots: people making choices in a changing world

The world is changing, and many of our old certainties no longer hold.

People find it hard to make sense of these changes. This book describes the forces for change and what could disrupt them. You can learn from people with fresh ideas through interviews and through snapshots of people and communities making fresh choices in a changing world.

There are three reasons to read the book:
It will help you to be better informed so that you will be able to better manage uncertainty. This will improve the quality of your decisions both for today and for the future; It will extend your imagination - like science fiction does - helping you to envisage positive futures in the middle of the current doom and gloom; It will help you to challenge your (and others') assumptions about people and our planet - based on evidence that may surprise you.
New Shoots is based on evidence gathered through the authors' research and global consultancy over the last decade. It builds upon their previous books including Scenario Planning, Beyond Crisis, Strategic Foresight and Megatrends to 2032.
