Book Presentation: Flash Foresight by Daniel Burrus with John David Mann
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
A flash foresight is defined as “a blinding flash of the future obvious.” It is the ability to intuitively grasp what will unfold in the fore see able future and then to understand the hidden opportunities involved. If you can come up with a flash foresight, you in effect solve your biggest problems before they happen.
You’ve probably already had an occasional flash foresight where you’ve caught a glimpse of where things might be heading and followed your gut instincts and things turned out very well. Fortunately, flash foresights aren’t random – learning how to consistently generate them is a business skill which can be developed, refined and strengthened.
There are seven triggers which you should understand and then consistently and systematically apply to generate more flash foresights:
Start with certainty – know the hard trendsProject–base your strategies on what you knowTransform – use technology-driven changeSkip your biggest problem– get to the real issueGo opposite – head in the other directionRedefine and reinvent – leverage uniquenessDirect your future – be pre activeThese triggers are like the notes on the musical scale. You won’t use all of them in every flash foresight but many flash foresights will be a combination of a few of these triggers. Learn to use all seven mental processes consistently well and you increase the likelihood you’ll generate worthwhile flash foresights.
Take those triggers and start looking into the future more regularly. This is a situation where the more you look, the more you’ll see. Sometimes a flash foresight will be about an amazing use for a new technology but more often flash foresights come from looking at the future in a different way and then getting there before someone else does.
In the past, flash foresights were useful to have but not essential. Today, the pace of change is so rapid flash foresights have become essential. It’s well worth your time to learn how to make them.

Summary of Flash Foresight (Daniel Burrus with John David Mann)
1. Start with certainty
Always base your strategies on what you know for certain will happen in the future because of the hard trends which are already in place. Don’t get boxed in by uncertainty and doubt – keep focusing on the things you’re certain about.
Typically when you start planning your future, you’ll get stressed out about all the things you don’t know and all the things you can’t do. To generate some genuine flash foresights, put those uncertainties to one side and keep focusing on what you can be certain about.
There are many things you already know about the future:
