Abstract
The future is not a single destination, it is an endless space of growing, living, connection possibilities. In direct terms, an enterprise is not held to one preordained destiny, its fate is not fixed in the stars, but open to an unlimited choice about the future. All enterprises can stimulate an imagination to invent many kinds of future, and then develop the capabilities to build those futures. Chance, of course, plays its hand, as the space of innovation possibilities holds a complex juncture of twists and turns. Despite chance, there is much we can do to steer along towards an innovative future: high concept futuring, in particular, can help give this bearing.
