Wheel : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futures_wheel
The
Futures wheel is a method for graphical visualisation of direct and indirect future consequences of a particular change or development. It was invented by
Jerome C. Glenn in
1971, when he was a student at the
Antioch Graduate School of Education (now
Antioch University New England).
The Futures Wheel is a way of organizing thinking and questioning about the future – a kind of structured brainstorming. (Jerome C. Glenn (
1994) The Futures Wheel)

The Future of Work: Future of
Work and Glocal Strategies to Improve Long-Term
Prospects
The future of work and increasing income gaps are among the most discussed topics of long-term prospects at the moment. However, systemic perspectives and global as well as local strategies to improve the long-term outlook are often lacking.
The Millennium Projects plans to address this gap and invites donations to support the study.
- About the Millennium Project:
The Millennium Project connects futurists around the world to improve global foresight. It was founded in
1996 after a three-year feasibility study with the
United Nations University,
Smithsonian Institution, Futures
Group International, and the
American Council for the
UNU. It is now an independent non-profit global participatory futures research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments, corporations,
NGOs, and universities. The Millennium Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses judgments from over 3,
500 people since the beginning of the project, selected by its 50
Nodes around the world. The work is distilled in the annual "State of the Future", "Futures
Research Methodology" series, special studies, and integrated into its Global Futures Intelligence System.
- About Global Futures Intelligence System (
GFIS) : The Millennium Project is integrating all of its information, groups, and software into a "Global Futures Intelligence System." GFIS* is The Millennium Project’s new way for you to participate with and have access to all of our resources in one place. Those who buy a one-year subscription can interact with all the elements of the system, make suggestions, initiate discussions with experts around the world, and search through over 10,
000 pages of futures research and 1,
300 pages of methods. The text has built-in
Google translation with 52 languages. MP
Node chairs and content reviewers will have free access.
Instead of publishing the State of the Future once a year, the material is being updated in the Global Futures Intelligence System on a continual basis – the same is true with Futures Research Methodology – you do not have to wait five or so years to get a new version. Some Real-Time
Delphi studies and other research are also being made available as soon as they are completed, and will be accessible for discussion of conclusions.
The GFIS is not just new software, vast information, and global experts; it is also a system to produce synergies among these three elements for greater intelligence than their separate values. It is rather a global intelligence utility from which governments,
UN agencies, businesses, NGOs, universities, media, and consultants can draw different values. The GFIS staff is more interested in synergistic intelligence than competitive intelligence, and how the world can work for all, not just for a single nation, ideology, or issue. It can provide decision makers, advisors, and educators with insights that reflect the consensus and/or range of views on the important issues of our time. The engagement of the user with our information, participants, and software is intended to help humanity become more proactive.
