• Innovation doesn’t have to be disruptive.

Read this article from Harvard Business Review, by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne, on innovation that creates new markets for growth without destroying existing companies or jobs.
• Why we are called TomorrowToday.
We called our company ‘TomorrowToday’ because we believe that as futurists, we need to spend 50% of our time anticipating the future, with strategic imagination, and thinking about how it will be different from today. And then we need to spend the other 50% of our time focused on the world of today, building anti-fragility, resilience and adaptability into the systems we have now, so that we can deal with whatever actually happens in the future.
