The Futures Triangle

You should read this if… you are looking for a simple, powerful way to make sense of the forces shaping your organisation’s future. This video introduces the Futures Triangle, a foresight tool developed by Prof. Sohail Inayatullah, and explains how it helps leaders map the push of present trends, the pull of preferred futures, and the weight of past assumptions and structures. By visualising how these three forces interact, the Futures Triangle creates a shared frame for better planning and decision‑making—helping organisations clarify what is driving change, what is holding them back, and what kind of future they are actively working towards to support impact and future growth.
