Description:

The Institute for Alternative Futures (IAF) has been a leader in the creation of preferred futures. Since its founding in 1977 by Clement Bezold, Alvin Toffler and James Dator, IAF has helped organizations monitor trends, explore future possibilities and create the futures they prefer by: providing techniques for organizational and social transformation that will instill vision and integrity; sharing insights gained from leading-edge futures research and a constantly expanding body of integrated knowledge; creating networks of relationships among leaders for more strategic, systemic, global and humane decision-making; and developing practices that sustain organizational success in the present while consciously investing in endeavors that expand opportunities for futures generations. This collection contains websites, forecasts, scenarios, toolkits, reports, and videos published by IAF in order to preserve and provide access for the future.
