Future Potentials Observatory (FPO)
The holistic concept of future potential expresses the readiness of social entities (e.g. family, organization, country) in terms of their ability to preserve a good life for their members in a unity of order through the strategic management of future changes.
The foundations for good life is provided by peace and security, attachment, care, and balance, while changes appear and require strategic management in the fields of ecology-geopolitics, technology, socio-economy and culture.
