Four-Step Foresight

 

Imagine, lead, learn and fix your way to the future

Discover the neuroscience behind the brain’s ‘future-think’ to strategically manage change from the unwanted to the preferred.

Four-Step Foresight reveals how the brain thinks about the future and how we can utilise this knowledge to successfully plan for change. It reframes the future in terms of the relationship between brain time (our objective neurobiological reality) and mind time (our subjective mental reality) as we consciously imagine a better future, lead ourselves there, learn as we progress and finally fix our problems in the present.

Since thinking about the future (or foresight) is a uniquely individual capacity, the focus of Four-Step Foresight is on the individual (whether a leader or follower) in the first instance and the collective (whether an organisation or team) in the second. By developing the individual’s foresight capability, the collective is in a better position to negotiate continuous change successfully.

Donald Simpson

Neurosurgeon and Humanitarian

DONALD SIMPSON WAS A REMARKABLE MAN.

This biography, written by two former trainees, and later colleagues, tells the story of his family background and academic career in neurosurgery, from Adelaide to Oxford. It covers the many aspects of his life – from medical research and historical interests to working with disabled and sick children and his humanitarian activities. It also contains many contributions from people who knew him and many stories about him, some humorous, some surprising but always “Donaldesque”. The unique character of Donald Simpson, neurosurgeon and humanitarian, shines through.
