Dr Adrian W J Kuah, Director of the Futures Office at NUS noted that we have persisted in making predictions of the future through scenarios planning though they create a false sense of security and precision. He suggested that the scenarios, the stories we write about possible future states of the world, be used as learning spaces, and added that these stories, in a sense, teach us about our present hopes and fears, our values and our blind-spots.
