In an increasingly unpredictable world, traditional methods of planning no longer suffice.
Four Future Seasons offers a groundbreaking approach to navigating uncertainty. It empowers readers to adapt to the future and actively shape it.
Creating a better future
Drawing from international experiences, doctoral research, and diverse perspectives as a global expert in futures strategy, Dr Craig Wing presents Four Future Seasons. This work combines deep insights with practical strategies. As a result, readers can anticipate disruptions and thrive in times of change.
This innovative model draws from diverse and fascinating concepts such as Rumsfeld’s ‘unknown unknowns’ and the Johari Window. Furthermore, it incorporates the timeless wisdom of the Japanese four-season garden. Together, these ideas offer a dynamic framework for identifying early signals of change and responding with agility.

In addition, personal stories of resilience and innovation are woven throughout Four Future Seasons. These narratives equip readers with the tools, foresight, and confidence needed to thrive through all seasons of life.
