| Tiivistelmä: | The paper discusses the future exploring QUEST technique, developed in the early 1980s. Several versions of the basic approach exist, and it is explained why this process is expected to continue. The intention is to provide a critical overview and to comment on the significance and possible future evolution of this technique in relation to forecasting and the futures field. A critical overview of QUEST suggests that a move away from forecasting and predicting per se to more process-oriented approaches may be under way. To the extent that the shift is real, the position of the futures field seems likely to improve. |
