Concepts, Tools, Advice, and Assistance

Karl is widely recognized as an insightful futurist and a commentator on the philosophy and conceptual foundations of futures thinking.

A regular contributor to the World Future Society's journal The Futurist and a speaker at the society's international conferences, he has helped many CEOs and executive teams think clearly about the destiny of their enterprises.

His book, Your Strategic Radar: Tracking the Forces that are Shaping Your Business, is widely regarded as a practical handbook for the "environmental scan," which is crucial to strategic planning for organizations of all kinds.

And, in The Northbound Train: Finding the Purpose, Setting the Direction, Shaping the Destiny of Your Organization, he set forth one of the most popular practical frameworks for strategic thinking and planning.
