Sell Books Flash Foresight: How to See the Invisible and Do the Impossible


Burrus (Technotrends) has made a career of predicting the future of technological change, and in his latest work, he maintains that you too can develop œflash foresight — a œburst of insight about the future that produces a new and radically different way of doing something that will open up invisible opportunities and solve seemingly impossible problems. Burrus argues that we can enhance our intuitive sixth sense through systematic processes used by educators, scientists, governments, and companies like Crocs, Starbucks, and Amazon. œIt™s not guesswork or psychic ability, writes Burrus. œIt™s purely a question of knowing how and where to look, and taking the time to do the looking. Case studies bring the idea of flash foresight to life, such as how Netflix redefined the home movie industry or how Singapore envisioned its future and transformed itself from a tiny city with no natural resources into a sleek center of global commerce. The ability to see trends and identify future opportunities is a skill anyone can benefit from—and Burrus™s latest work is a valuable introduction to the fundamentals. (Jan.)
