  • Avoid Groupthink
  • Adopt  a Big Picture Approach to the Future by Factoring in the Impact on Culture, Politics, And Economics.

According to Michael Zey, companies and organizations that fail to detect the “next big thing” will quickly  find themselves falling behind theircompetitors. The growth of the Internet, cell phones, and social media, the Great Depression, the post-war economic boom and baby boom, the 2008 financial meltdown and the social impact of television and the automobile  are just some of the developments largely unanticipated by futurists and business gurus. Even innovators themselves—Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, for instance—have misgauged the public’s willingness to embrace their inventions.
