With "Flagwatching", top-selling author Clem Sunter breaks new ground. Building on the more abstract discipline of scenario planning for which he is internationally known, this book offers an innovative, highly practical method for decoding the future. Flagwatching is something we do every day. Whether it is detecting a change of facial expression during a conversation with a friend, spotting the potential dangers when driving a car or monitoring our own health, we are on the alert for significant flags. Now Sunter weaves a persuasive and entertaining case for applying this natural habit to the field of organisational strategy. Learn to identify the flags that are changing the game, play the different scenarios and consider your options before taking action. This book provides a diverse set of flags to watch in the world at large and in South Africa. It will help your business or organisation become a leader in anticipating our fast-changing times.

Über Autor(innen)

Sunter, Clem
Clem Sunter was born in England and read politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford before moving to Zambia in 1971 to work for Anglo American Central Africa. In 1973 he came to Anglo headquarters in South Africa, where he spent most of his career in the gold and uranium division, serving as its chairman and CEO from 1990 to 1996. In the early 1980s, Sunter established a scenario planning function at Anglo with teams in London and Johannesburg. He is probably best known for his ‘High Road/Low Road’ scenarios for South Africa in the 1980s. His 2001 book, "The Mind of a Fox", co-authored with Chantell Ilbury, anticipated a major terrorist attack on a western city before the 9/11 tragedy in New York. The book sold more than 50 000 copies. Since 1987, Clem has authored or co-authored 18 books, many of them bestsellers. He has given scenario presentations worldwide, including lectures at the Harvard Business School in Boston and at the Central Party School in Beijing. Sunter married Margaret Rowland in 1969 and they have one daughter and two sons. His hobbies include walking and rock music although he hung up his guitar professionally in 1964 shortly after his band played at the same gig as the Rolling Stones.
