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
