Nokia is the poster child for futures thinking at the corporate level. They pulled off the amazing feat of transitioning their company from logging supplies, rubber boots and toilet paper over to cell phones, spurred by the transformative event of the bankruptcy of the Soviet Union. (How did they pull this off? I detail it in my book “Future Inc.”)
Finland in general, due to their somewhat obscure position in Europe and the humility of being regularly invaded by Swedes and Russians alike for centuries, has become REALLY good at foresight. Thus, it’s no surprise to see Nokia’s vision for our digital lives in 2015 laid out in beautiful graphical scenarios as in the video below.
