Futures-thinking is the effort given to focusing on, reasoning, and exploring the future, whether several plausible futures or a single what-if future. This is within the realms of scenario thinking, strategic thinking, risk assessment, even fiction. Practitioners who work in futures-thinking, work with perceptions, as opposed to aiming for probabilities (i.e. forecasting).
Data science combines multiple fields, including statistics, scientific methods, artificial intelligence (AI), and data analysis, to extract value from data. Data science includes cleaning, aggregating, and manipulating data to perform advanced data analysis. Statistic applications and data scientists can then review the results to uncover trends and patterns in behaviours. One of the main aims is to enable business leaders to draw informed insights that lead to articulated action.

With that said, as a Hub for knowledge, we provide a continuously updated repository of tools used to help businesses plan for and navigate the unfolding future.
No. Well, at least not with the tools and knowledge we collectively hold at this time. But if you figure it out, let us know!
