developed by Jhack- "Future Savvy" (Amacom Press, NY, 09) shows readers how to discern quality in the future-thinking they read and hear. It views expert foresight as a crucial resource, but puts sharp tools in the hands of forecast users, with case studies from both industry and government. The ability to critically evaluate expert predictions is fundamental to getting major business and policy decisions right.
