Sinossi
Top international organisations including UBS and the World Bank have consulted Patrick Dixon on how to ‘future proof’ their work. Now his ground breaking financial and ethical discoveries are available to a wider audience in Global Change.
As the millennium approaches, everyone wants to know what the future holds. On an individual, corporate and world scale, how society changes will affect us all profoundly. Make the wrong choice and the results could be devastating.
Patrick Dixon considers six faces of the future in Global Change as if they are the faces of a cube. The world will be Fast, Urban, Tribal, Universal, Radical and Ethical (a new morality). He explains the practical results of these including everything from the hours in the working week to artificial pregnancies. From business planning on a company scale to choices about a personal pension, these changes will have an impact on everyone. Wealth, health, cultures, technology, travel, morality – all are considered in this major new study.

Dalla quarta di copertina
"Either we take hold of the future or the future will take hold of us"
This is an extraordinary time to be alive. The world is being transformed before our eyes from an emerging industrial revolution and a technological post-war society into something altogether new and different.
Are you ready for the future?
Futurewise... planning to change tomorrow
Futurewise... making choices that will last
Futurewise... understanding trends in order to be in control
Futurewise... thinking ahead at every level, personal and corporate
Futurewise... taking the broad view, plotting for contingencies
Futurewise... always staying one step ahead
How Futurewise are you?
How Futurewise is your company?
Look ahead and measure your plans against the six faces of the future.
Fast – economic instability, top-speed decisions, virtual working, new technologies
Urban – mega-cities, ageing population, feminization of society, increasing consumer expectations
Tribal – the greatest force in the world, corporate tribes, building tribes not teams
Universal – unstoppable forces, global citizens, global branding, mega-corporations
Radical – new political movements, gathering power of single issues such as the environment, altering the way we live
Ethical – how do we want to live in a fast, urban, tribal, universal and radical world?
New patterns for relationships, values and spirituality. A new world order.
