futuremastery manifesto

We all see it every day around us: the world as we know it is coming to an end. 

Everywhere, socio-economic, geopolitical, and technological disruptions shake our modern societies:

•  We enter the danger zone of the Bretton Woods Big Debt Cycle, threatening our social models with widening wealth gaps and populist movements surging all over the West.
•  The growing US/BRICS+ rivalry creates seismic deglobalization shifts at the same time as resources begin to shrink, creating hybrid conflicts extending from economic to cyber and even military fronts.
•  90% of today's Fortune 1000 companies and 60% of jobs will be disrupted by AI within the current decade, while even greater neurotech and genomic disruptions are around the corner.

These mutations create massive risks of crises, conflicts, and wars, with the possibility of a lost decade and a secular financial hurricane brewing.

They also open revolutionary opportunities in business and wealth that most of us don't even dream of today.

All this challenges the way we manage our future.

For decades, we have been used to traditional, linear, usually quite predictable ways of living. We have been lured into thinking that the future could be a simple projection of the past, or of ideological dreams of happy times.

But we feel it confusedly. We are now at an inflection point. The future is no longer what it used to be. 

History does not work linearly but chaotically, by leaps and bounds.

We are at such a moment. A GLOBAL TRANSITION to a new world is underway.

At this turning point in time, the next 10 years will determine our future. The decisions we take today, in our increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous transition times, will dramatically influence our destiny.

For those who seize the unique opportunities of these times, there may be extraordinary possibilities ahead.

But being in the midst of a revolution is also being at the epicenter of chaos.

Each turning point is a crisis. A moment when the old world is not yet dead and when the new one has not yet fully emerged. A moment when uncertainty prevails. When social unrest rises, and when society dramatically polarizes at collective and individual levels, with the surge of utopian ideologies, survivalist and eco-millenarist factions, and protest movements.

This has a dramatic impact on the way we live, creating massive uncertainty and global turmoil.

Making the right moves in this context is not easy.

The way each organization, business, or individual handles this defining moment will drive its future: 

•  How to successfully prepare for these disruptive times?
•  How to navigate through the transformation crisis and emerge safely as a leader into the new world taking shape?
•  How not just to survive but to thrive, and transform volatility into growth? 

Flourishing in a fast-changing world requires a new mindset. It requires us to be agile. To seek new ideas. To constantly test new strategies.

This is the aim of futuremastery.

For millennia, thinkers have tried to foresee the future.

Most have failed.

But the times are changing. Incredible progress in long-term historical models, catastrophe theories, and AI-powered scenario modeling gives us new tools to navigate in troubled times. 

While many try to forecast the future, futuremastery strives to navigate into it:

•  Not just detecting megatrends but foreseeing how to get ready for them,
•  Not just being prepared for the probable, but getting adapted to the unexpected,
•  Not just being ready for change, but having the right antifragile strategies to succeed. 

With a single aim in mind: build a clear and actionable roadmap for the future. Getting beyond the obvious with bold insights, uncensored analysis, and actionable thinking to get the most out of disruptions, and help us cross the transition crisis to thriving tomorrows.

Never has the future held so many dangers. Never has it also held so many promises.

Together, let's take control of our destiny!
