Four Future Scenarios

This is an interesting and important report from the Global Business Network (GBN) for the Rockefeller Foundation on four possible scenarios.

The four can be summarized as:
  1. Clever Together - - a world in which highly coordinated and successful strategies emerge for addressing both urgent and entrenched worldwide issues.
  2. Lock Step - - a world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen push back.
  3. Smart Scramble - - an economically depressed world in which individuals and communities develop localized, makeshift solutions to a growing set of problems.
  4. Hack Attack - - an economically unstable and shock-prone world in which governments weaken, criminals thrive, and dangerous innovations emerge.
