Zombies - the Living Dead
Futures Studies typically focus on the new things that come. However, an important part of the changes the future brings are the things that disappear. So if you are looking for new opportunities, zombies may be a place to start looking. The Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies had the living dead on the agenda at a theme meeting for our member companies at the end of 2005.
By Niels Bottger-Rasmussen (Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies)
No one knows the future, and the last thing we want to know is of course when we are going to leave this world. Hence, the Institute's zombie list is of course just a list of candidates. There are efficient killers in the shape of megatrends like digitalization and globalization, but there also is an immune system that goes into action whenever there's a threat to the values we prize highly or simply have grown used to being foundations of our lives. In many ways that which disappears is thus a more radical change than what comes. We can reject new things, like mobile phones, but we must accept the loss of things that disappear, like phone booths.
At the strategic level, thinking in terms of zombies can be a suitable supplement to looking at changes and trends. In companies and organizations, zombies are sensitive and perhaps even dangerous subjects that we push aside. But perhaps we can close in on them by starting to spot zombies in the surrounding world and then gradually move towards the core of the organization. By looking at zombies and what we risk losing, we may also spot new opportunities that can lead to innovations, which will strengthen disappearing values like romance, the nuclear family and the private sphere.
