The Millennium Project
Global Futures Intelligence SystemThe Millennium Project is integrating all of its information, groups, and software into a “Global Futures Intelligence System.” 2- minute video overview. 5-minute how to demo video. This is a collective intelligence system on the future. While GFIS is being repositioned in Amazon Web Services, it is unavailable.
- Work/Technology 2050: Scenarios and ActionsWork/Technology 2050: Scenarios and Actions 199 page report on a three-year international study includes executive summary, three detailed scenarios (each ten pages), and 93 actions to address the issues in the scenario’s. Each action gets a page of distilled assessments from hundreds of futurists and related experts in over 50 countries.
State of the FutureThe State of the Future reports are precise overviews of humanity’s present situation, challenges and opportunities, potentials for the future, and actions that could improve humanity’s outlook – in a clear, precise, and readable text with unparalleled breadth and depth
- Futures Research Methodology 3.0Futures Research Methodology Version 3.0 is the largest, most comprehensive collection of internationally peer-reviewed handbook on methods and tools to explore future possibilities ever assembled in one resource.
- The Millennium Project connects futurists around the world to improve global foresight. It was founded in 1996 after a three-year feasibility study with the United Nations University, Smithsonian Institution, Futures Group International, and the American Council for the UNU. It is now an independent non-profit global participatory futures research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments, corporations, NGOs, and universities. The Millennium Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses judgments from over 3,500 people since the beginning of the project, selected by its 65 Nodes around the world. The work is distilled in the State of the Future reports, Futures Research Methodology series, special studies, and integrated into its Global Futures Intelligence System.
