Talk:Institute for the Future

Issues
Issues notices were removed as follows:
 * Advertising
 * 'Self-promotion' through excessive use of Primary Sources is now much reduced. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Notability
 * The number and quality of independent citations now in place should be enough to establish notability. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)


 * Primary Sources
 * Citations from IFTF site and associated staff member have been replaced, where possible. One exception to this is in the discussion of the various IFTF reports. The problem is that, while the reports are widely cited, it is for their content rather than their format/intention. Arfisk (talk) 01:49, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

History

 * Restructure posted. Arfisk (talk) 01:54, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Work
Removed, pending better citations: The clients of these programs are primarily Fortune 500 companies. When the Institute was founded in 1968, the founders had envisioned working with governments, but over the years Institute clients have included many large companies, along with nonprofits, foundations, and local, state and national governments. In recent years, its work has become increasingly international, and included proprietary tools for collaborative forecasting.
 * Fortune 500 would be better covered in 'Corporate' section Arfisk (talk) 02:00, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Add awards or measured impact by Institute as recognized from external organizations — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sweet inaara (talk • contribs) 18:13, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

People
Removed, pending better citations: French artist Raphaële Bidault-Waddington collaborated with the Institute in 2012.
