?? #FORECASTING #PRINCIPLES: No.41 of 60 in "THINK FUTURE"?(Post 5 of 6 in a series)

??? As I mention with each of these Articles, if you have been fortunate enough to read my latest book "THINK FUTURE," you will recall that I present 60 Forecasting Principles, all with color graphics, as the main content of that book.

?? EXAMPLE FORECASTING PRINCIPLE No.41

??? I am Posting 6 of the 60 Forecasting Principles here, on consecutive days.

??? The 5th example (No.41 in the full series) is an over-riding principle of all future #Political (and Social) #Trends. It simply but profoundly says:

“Political Systems are Usually the Slowest and Last to Change"

?? EXPLANATION

??? This is a political fact of life in most societies. Indeed, politicians "Rarely Initiate Change." In fact, they often are so resistant of change that they stand in the way of and prevent change, such that their societies and economies suffer and lag behind other administrations.

??? And while I don't want to get into politics, history shows that it is often the "conservative" politicians and governments that are indeed "conservative" about the need to change; instead they hold on to outmoded principles. In fact, this "conservatism" often applies to governments on the left and right, across the entire spectrum from socialist to capitalist.

??? Hence, in trying to #predict the #future, and in extrapolating social, technological and economic trends, very often you have to weight politics as a counter-measure to innovative and needed progress.

??? Politicians who push for and achieve meaningful socio-economic change tend to be the exception, and can readily be brought to mind.

??? Please think about this and its implications. Politics is another over-riding Principle of #life and #business, plus and/or minus.

??? And politics also has internal #business #implications. If the #Board, #CEO, and/or #CSuite are too "conservative" and risk-averse, I guarantee that you will fall behind the competition.

?? DO YOURSELF a BIG FAVOR ...

??? So if you truly want to be future oriented – and succeed in life or in business -- I strongly encourage you to read "THINK FUTURE." I promise you that each and every page is worth the modest price of the entire book.
