La prospective, 3IE-EPITA and several Circle partners unite to sponsor the free distribution of strategic foresight software

The complexity of contemporary problems and those we are likely to face in the future compels us to use the best possible methods available. Fortunately, there is a rich legacy of such methods. Our challenge today is to preserve and enrich this legacy. In the spirit of this challenge, La Prospective, 3IE (Institute of Computer Science and Innovation for Industries), EPITA (School of Computer Science and Advanced Technologies) and our sponsors are offering free access to our strategic foresight software and helping to broaden the international scope and prestige of the French school of la prospective.

By distributing the toolbox for strategic foresight free on the Internet we run the risk, albeit calculated, of inappropriate use. In order to avoid this problem we recommend that all users read the following : “ The nail’s dream and the hammer’s pitfall” as well as the other reference books.

 

Creating Futures. Scenario Planning as a Strategic Management Tool (by Michel Godet, Economica, 2006) : The book is available entirely free of charge.
Strategic Foresight - La Prospective - Use and Misuse of Scenario Building (by Michel Godet with Philippe Durance and Adam Gerber) : The book is available entirely free of charge.
