In this brief excerpt from her book Put the Future on the Agenda, Charlotte Kemp argues that futures thinking should not be limited to a strategy department, an annual retreat, or a single visionary individual. She defines futures literacy as the ability to anticipate change, imagine multiple alternative futures, and make present decisions informed by long-term consequences. Kemp contends that to build a resilient, responsive, and preferred future, the entire organization must develop futures literacy as a core competency, ensuring every employee possesses this skill.
