Strategic Trends

What happens in the world is widely diffused, commented, tweeted, micro- and broadcast through countless conventional and social media. The decision makers, even with powerful bureaucratic and IT filters, may obtain a collection of data that feeds elements of information, but leaves them still alone with the dilemmas of actionable knowledge and final decision.

Strategic Trends do not clutter the view with facts that too often become factoids.

They are a rather unique feature, aimed at answering hard questions: what is the direction? why the course of events is going in a certain way? are there alternative developments hidden from the gaze of other observers?

The site offers a sample of the Strategic Trends that are structured in two parts: a short and sharp executive summary and a concise situation report regarding what has happened on a monthly or bi-monthly basis in each relevant country.

At the same time the Foundation is testing a new analytical instrument, especially developed for the further understanding of the new Arab world: the AVE (Arab Vectors of Evolution). The goal is to provide a holistic view of change vectors, clear ramifications stemming from initial conditions and complex future scenarios, beyond the old game of canned analysis and statistics.
