“The more expert—or at least
the more educated— a
person is, the less likely that
person is to see a solution
when it is not within the
framework in which he or she
was taught to think.”
Herman KahnFuturist & Military Strategist

“In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure”

FREMTIDSFORSKNING.
Det meste af hvad vi har
brug for at vide for at tage

beslutninger handler om
fremtiden.
Hvad vi ikke ved, vi ikke ved
Hvad vi ikke ved, vi ved
Hvad vi ved, vi ved
