Ian Wilson on Strategic Implementation

The University of North Carolina's Horizon project has an interesting piece by scenarist Ian Wilson titled "From Scenario Thinking to Strategic Action" that's notable for:

a) Its insistence on knowing what type of decision you're trying to arrive at by using scenarios, and

b) Wilson's own quote, from 1975, that "all our knowledge is about the past, and all our decisions are about the future," which is so obvious yet covert in our everyday lives that it might almost be Zen.
