IFTF Ten-Year Forecast 2020 | Future Ready Organizations
During this year of unprecedented change, IFTF extended a one time-only invitation for a select community of individuals to join us for the first week (September 14-18) of our annual IFTF TYF2020 Summit on Future Ready Organizations. Each year, for over 38 years of hosting Ten-Year Forecast Summits, IFTF has immersed participants, futurists, researchers, and experts in a look ahead at the ten-year horizon to better prepare for tomorrow.
IFTF Vantage:
Transform valuable foresight into actionable insight.
Organizations that will thrive in the future will be those that foresee game-changing threats and counterintuitive opportunities to lead.
Highlights from IFTF Ten-Year Forecast 2020
Although the broadcast is no longer live here, you can replay these highlights from IFTF's Ten-Year Forecast
2020, featuring conversations about Urgent Futures—and urgent presents—that demonstrate why real change
is needed now.
Through focused research content, the Ten-Year Forecast, framing and counsel from Foresight Guides, and the community that partnership builds, IFTF Vantage provides partners with the tools to understand how they can create change that makes more equitable futures possible.
