Fast Future Research

I had a lot of fun last week delivering an opening keynote presentation on "Tourism Futures: Mastering Diversity, Inclusivity, and Agility to Thrive in Uncertainty" at ITB Berlin - the world's largest tourism event. The session was wonderfully hosted by the brilliantly on the ball and always effervescent Charlotte Lamp Davies of A Bright Approach.

I was given free reign to explore diversity and inclusion in the broadest possible context and share some of the emerging finds from our current study on the Future Leisure Traveller. I've had a fabulous response to the themes covered - suggesting the industry can up its game and its thinking - particularly around including the 50% or more who might never take what we think of as a vacation.

Aftershocks and Opportunities –
Futurists Envision our Post-Pandemic Future
Call for Chapters
Target Publication Date: June 1st, 2020

While the world grapples with the current unfolding crisis, as futurists we know how important it is to also be thinking about the next horizon and beyond. This can help ensure that the decisions we make today don’t lay the foundation for a new set of problems over the horizon. Equally, understanding the types of future that might emerge post-crisis can help us plan and prepare for those possibilities as we reshape our strategies today. Finally, such future insights might help us spot, train for, and adapt to the new opportunities that could arise as a post-pandemic world unfolds.

Here at Fast Future, we are starting to ask what the possibilities and opportunities are for a post-pandemic future – and we want to engage a global community of future thinkers in that dialogue. Hence, we want to develop a fast track, widely accessible, and affordable book to be published on June 1st, 2020 - providing individuals, leaders, and organizations with foresight, insight, challenge, visionary thinking, and navigational guidance on what might lie ahead. This is a fast track opportunity to put your latest thinking in front of a world hungry for ideas, hope, and inspiration.

We are inviting people from across the globe with a perspective on the issue to explore how the world might look after the COVID-19 pandemic. Aftershocks and Opportunities – Futurists Envision our Post-Pandemic Future (working book title) will portray diverse perspectives on economic, cultural, organisational, political, social, scientific, technological, commercial, and ecological evolution over the coming two to five years. Chapter submissions will be accepted until April 19th, 2020.

We want contributions of up to 1,000 words from people who can write about some aspect of the emerging possibilities and opportunities in the form of scenarios, stories from the future, development timelines, or exploring how particular domains might play out. The book launch date is scheduled for June 1st, 2020.
Please use the link below to see the full details of the project and how to submit a chapter:
