The most important criteria for success is - for lack of a better description - the ability to connect the dots, to think outside the box, as well as to see the implications for and relevancy of things and the opportunities. Futurists rely on many creative thinking, forecasting and analysis tools including environmental scanning and scenario development.
Futurists is a term used to describe management science consultants who practice systems thinking to advise private and public organizations on diverse global trends, risk management and emerging market opportunities. Some countries call these interdisciplinary practitioners Futurologists.
