Future Watch, May 2007: Navigating the Future: The People, the Plans, and the Policies Guiding Leading Organizations

As part of its mandate to address longer-term trends in the world, the CSIS Global Strategy Institute (GSI) dedicated its third anniversary conference to exploring various institutional strategies for shaping the future. The April 19 meeting brought together farsighted leaders from the public and private sectors to offer insight into the processes their organizations use to think about the future and to formulate strategies. The event featured three keynote speakers and two panels, the first panel focusing on the creation of strategic visions and the second on the challenge of implementation.
