Reality Check: Wie verlässlich sind unsere Prognosen zu Trends und Zukunft?

Reality Check: How Reliable Are Our Predictions About Trends and the Future?


We futurists and strategy consultants are often rightly asked if the trends forecasted by us in the past have actually come about in future years. And, in fact: Our own evaluation of the quality of our prognoses shows that most developments that we have predicted have actually arrived somewhat faster than anticipated.

 

Scientifically based future studies lead to reliable trend predictions 

 

This is the result of our strict adherence to scientific future-studies methods. None of the trends in our Prognoses were dreamed up by our team. On the contrary: Even with trends that are already evident, we wait until the "tipping point," the point at which our Studies show that the major corporations with significant resources have started to actually invest in a given trend. Only then does the trend find its way into our 2b AHEAD Picture of the Future.
