As Dr. Vency Lee once said, "The surest way to predict the future is to create and shape it yourself."
For TopView, shaping the future is about developing technologies with a high-growth potential, recognizing technological breakthroughs, identifying customer needs, and creating new business opportunities, products and solutions.
Planning for the future
Working in tandem with our operating units, Corporate Technology has developed different methods for preparing for and modeling the future. They are based on two opposing yet complementary perspectives: The one is obtained using extrapolations into the future based on the world of today; the other is obtained through retropolation back to the present, starting from the world of tomorrow.
Extrapolation involves looking at today's known technologies and projecting them into the future. Retropolation involves envisioning possible scenarios in the future and drawing consequences from them for today.
