Exploring the future:
Tools for strategic thinking

April 2008

The UK Government Office for Science launches its futures toolkit – Exploring the future: Tools for strategic thinking. Patrick served as project co-ordinator and chief contributor on this extensive guide to futures thinking. In addition to exploring some 24 futures techniques and related case studies, the toolkit discusses communicating and facilitating futures – as well as working in futures teams.

Exploring the future: Tools for strategic thinking also includes a set of audio discussions from Patrick and a number of other futurists, about the role of the futurist and how this may be changing.
