Personal futures
What is a personal future?
As we look at personal futures, they are explorations of the future of one individual, you, and only the futures that directly involve you and your family.
The approach consists of three steps:
(1) Build a framework of information about your life.
(2) From the information in the framework, explore your plausible futures with scenarios.
(3) From the scenarios, develop a vision of your future, devise strategies to achieve your vision, and make action plans for your future.
In exploring your future, you will use the same methods that have been practiced by futurists for decades, all over the world. At the end of this process, you should have an overview and a vision of your life, specific plans for the next stage of life, and contingency plans to deal with changes.

Visit the free Personal Futures Network below to follow a more detailed outline of these three steps in learning about your future. (We are grateful to Verne Wheelwright, Ph.D, for his permission to create this page and thank him for the pioneering work he is doing in this area).
LifeMaps
If you are an HR Director or CEO wanting to use Personal Futures to create systematized, organization-wide LifeMaps, contact Verne at the Personal Futures Network. These LifeMaps are essentially a future contract between the organization and its people to deliver people's personal aspirations in exchange for their delivery of agreed, beyond expected, performance; for example, early retirement or a sabbatical for delivering a dramatic improvement in company performance. Aggregated Life Maps can help an organization spot opportunities for increasing people's loyalty and performance and better identify previously unseen workforce risks.
