" Provocative and entertaining as ever, Wolfgang teaches us that change is to be embraced with excitement rather than fear." Neil Jacobson, CEO, I-Net Brdige
Ten Lessons From the Future is about the power of change, and the power you have to make change work for you.
All around us, the old order is collapsing. Ideas, systems, and strategies that once seemed rock-solid, are crumbling under the onslaught of new technologies, new attitudes, new ways of thinking and doing.
The hard and simple truth, in today's fast-changing, fiercely-competitive global arena, is that you can no longer rely on your bank of personal experience, or the stockpile of insights, ideas, and know-how you have accumulated over the years.
10 Lessons from the Future reflects on culture, business and technology in the past 30 years and gives you and your organisation the advance intelligence you need to get ready for the next 30 years, by taking you on a fascinating and rewarding journey to the ultimate destination - your Future.
The book concludes with 10 powerful lessons that emerge from our exploration of the past and future scenarios. These 10 lessons create essential business and personal imperatives for today. A practical and revolutionary handbook for business executives, venture capitalists, individuals and investors, it will answer these crucial questions:
· What are the big challenges and issues facing businesses, individuals, and investors in the next 20 years?
· What kind of organisations will succeed in the new economy?
· What kind of skills will be most sought-after?
· Which industries will prosper, and which will fall by the wayside?
· What are the hottest investment prospects of the 21st Century?
· What is the future of e-commerce?
· How will the rapidly-evolving field of biotechnology shape the way we live our lives?
· How can we educate and prepare the next generation to make the most of the exciting opportunities that lie ahead?
Also included is access to an Internet-based tool, the Information Age Scorecard, that lets you assess how competitive your business is and how ready you are to compete in the 21st Century.
The ideas in Ten Lessons from the Future are being used by a range of leading businesses, inlcuding Erikson, Andersen Consulting, IBM, Nortel Networks, Deutsche Morgan Grenfell, UBS, Lufthansa and Guardian Media Group.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
