Book cover Integrating Soft Computing into Strategic Prospective Methods

Part of the book series: Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing ((STUDFUZZ,volume 387))

Abstract

The literature on Futures Studies shows the need to give the process of inference of the future, guidelines that help to face turbulence and recognize the emerging properties that belong to the dynamics of complex social systems. These systems are always in a state of non-equilibrium. Therefore, from a prospective point of view, a system must have means to monitor and understand the changes that occur in its environment, which in many cases express mega trends, often in conflict with each other. To respond to the challenges, the proposal called Meta-Prospective allows to combine Soft Computing with prospective strategic methods, providing the opportunity to develop strategic intelligence capabilities based on prospective thinking and modeling, but prioritizing the process on the methods to turns the proposal into a humanized model. This chapter develops the proposed called Meta-Prospective.
