Syllabus for ALL-WinWin: Anticipatory Thinking Involution
In his 2004 future history novel State of Fear, science fiction writer Michael Crichton briefly introduces involution during a diatribe on media manipulation using statistical research (John Naisbitt's Megatrends, 1982).
Crichton suggests implications for crafting more innovative scenarios about social engineering impacts on alternative futures (Harkins & Kubik StoryTech, 2004-2006). These future thought leadership themes reinforce knowledge management insights introduced by Marshall McLuhan in 1967.
Note: Section 3: Current Reality Assessments (CRA) became our decision support framework for an Eco-Futures Forum (EFF) with Dick Saunders.
