Serial Inferences
Introduction
Serial Inferences is a thinking technique that can help us imagine the future. Beginning with opportunity statements, we can use inferences to look at the future in a comprehensive way balancing form and freedom in our thinking. Using “if….then” people can effectively imagine near-term future events. From each near-term event, we can step into a mid-term and a long-term future. This is a disciplined approach that improves confidence in opportunities.
