Strategic Foresight and the Future of World Mission
Lausanne Global Analysis, May 2015
Consider John F Kennedy’s speech in 1961, calling to put a man on the moon within a decade. Now, let’s put his vision in context: in 1961 we had no personal computers, most commercial aircraft still used propellers, and TV was still predominately black and white. Considering the technology we had to work with, Kennedy’s horizon was audacious. People thought it just couldn’t be done; yet 8 years later, Neil Armstrong descended a ladder and took that famous last “one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
