This book offers a roadmap for designing and managing agile organisations that can thrive in the tech-driven, turbulent landscape of 21st-century despite the ongoing permacrisis. It regenerates mindsets by challenging the dominant management practices, which are based on 20th-century theories and are fast proving to be far from sustainable, and by offering sustainable prosperity as an alternative organisational goal that can be reached through the new management paradigm: Future Management.

Future Management is the innovative values-driven, value cocreating, mindful application of technology to develop novel approaches to the transformation of organisational design, business practices, corporate processes, and stakeholder relationship building and maintenance. It is the purpose of this book to thought-provoke readers by introducing the key trends, discussing the concepts, explaining the technologies and their applications, and visualising future scenarios that are shaping the future of Strategy and Management. The ideas, theories, and examples are presented in an innovative format. Relevant and enticing information is displayed in dyads of to-the-point illustrations and diagrams, which make a strong visual impact, and concise text, boxes, and vignettes with real-life cases and examples of applications.

The book explores the nexus of people and organisations with the sociopolitical environment and technology. As such, it is written primarily for managers, practitioners, and business consultants but is also relevant to academics, MBA and postgraduate students, and researchers who are seeking to mind-stretch towards the future which is already present.
