what is futuresphere?
Futuresphere is a new, not-for-profit think tank based in London.
Futuresphere examines the scientific, technological, economic, social, political and human forces shaping our changing world. It looks at how the world is changing, the effects of that change on people, institutions, geopolitics and the planet. It questions what we need to do now to prepare for the change and the future. It looks at how we can influence what the change will be and how it will occur.
Futuresphere will reflect on government policies and private decisions; it will examine from the personal to the local through to the global. It will seek to promote more informed debate and to influence decisions, locally and globally. It will offer a different, more integrated way of looking at change that is happening and what needs to change. It will think and act.
It will seek to understand what the past and the present can tell us about the future and to understand potential discontinuities – what the past cannot tell us.
who is futuresphere?
Futuresphere has been set up by a group of businesspeople concerned that prevailing approaches to major social, political and economic problems at personal, local, national and international levels are outdated and will, ultimately, prove destructive rather than constructive.
