Can 2009 be a spingboard year?

	Volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity are likely to get worse in 2009. Are you expecting a return to predictability?
	If you are not confused by 2009 and the future we are facing, you are not paying attention. The future cannot help you unless you are willing to listen through the confusion. You cannot learn from the future if you are overwhelmed by the present or stuck in the past.
	In the next decade, top leaders will deal mostly with dilemmas where there is no solution—but where you have to make decisions anyway.
	Leaders must engage with chaotic global future forces and figure out how to make a better future.
	Leaders can make the future, but they won’t make it all at once and they can’t make it alone.
