Flash Foresight by Daniel Burrus with John David Mann

In Flash Foresight - How to See the Invisible and Do the Impossible by Daniel Burrus with John David Mann the authors provide terrific examples and describe in detail seven flash foresight triggers:
  • Start with certainty - analyze hard trends to know what is coming
  • Anticipate - base your strategies on what you know about the future
  • Transform - accept technology-driven change and use it to advantage
  • Take your biggest problem and skip it - focus clearly on your real v. perceived problem
  • Go opposite - carefully examine what everyone else is doing and do what no one else is doing
  • Redefine and reinvent - ask how can I redefine how we compete on various variables such as price, reputation, image, service, quality, design, speed, customer experience, innovation, knowledge
  • Direct your future - allocate time each week to unplug from the present and explore your visible future
