> It's like corporations focus on the quarter. Futurists focus on the century. What group of people focuses on the decade? Corporations focus on the decade. But the focus on the quarter part is what is made public. Disclaimers abound: Obviously not all corporations. Some are good, some suck. Some are very public with their long term plans/thoughts, some are very secretive about R&D and their thinking beyond the fiscal year. There are groups within corporations (some with billion dollar budgets) focused on the 5-15 years out period. There are many corporate consulting firms specializing in exactly this 5-15 years out period too. Right or wrong, this ~10 year secular horizon is also sweet spot where secrecy about it does have value if you want a return on investing in it.
