The word "prospectivista" in Spanish really does not exist. It is sometimes used in laymen terms to describe anyone or anything concerned with or related to the future.

I agree with the answers given: "prospective (add the title)"

I choose this term because professionals in many different categories and sectors use propsective strategy techniques.

I don't disagree with futurist, but I think futurologist is more common. Several dictionaries, including Webster's and Encarta, don't list futurist with this meaning: they only show the artistic movement and the philosophical belief that the future is more important than the past.

SCENARIO PLANNING

Martin Börjesson, in his terrific set of resources about scenarios, describes it this way:

Scenario planning is a method for learning about the future by understanding the nature and impact of the most uncertain and important driving forces affecting our future. It is a group process which encourages knowledge exchange and development of mutual deeper understanding of central issues important to the future of your business. The goal is to craft a number of diverging stories by extrapolating uncertain and heavily influencing driving forces. The stories together with the work getting there has the dual purpose of increasing the knowledge of the business environment and widen both the receiver's and participant's perception of possible future events.

How can we deal with uncertainty and plan for the future in a strategic, systematic way? Many are looking at scenario planning, a dynamic strategic planning concept presented at the Executive Edge seminars (sponsored in part by the PCMA Education Foundation) at the PCMA Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, as a model. Meeting industry leaders went to class at the Wharton School of Business during the Executive Edge program in Philadelphia to learn about this dynamic tool to help them think strategically and look beyond the day-to-day logistical details of their jobs. While new to many planners, scenario planning can help them assist their organizations as a whole - in addition to looking at their meetings in a new way. As Laura Jelinek, associate executive director, American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons said, "We are in business to provide benefits to ourmembership.

"Scenario planning is best used for strategic planning in a world of uncertainty," explained Roch Parayre, Ph.D., senior fellow at the Mack Center for Technological Innovation at the Wharton School, and managing director and scenario planning expert with Decision Strategies Inc. (DSI), who led the scenario planning sessions. "The world for most industries is becoming increasingly unpredictable today. Many are beginning to 'twist in the wind.' This is certainly true of the travel and hospitality industry, especially after Sept. 11," he emphasized.
"http://www.pcma.org/Convene/Issue_Archives/July_2006/Scenari...

The scenario process thus involves research – skilled hunting and gathering of information. This is practiced both narrowly – to pursue facts needed for a specific scenario – and broadly – to educate the SCENARIO PLANNER, so that he is able to pose more significant questions. Flexibility of perspective is critical in doing it. The scenario planner has to simultaneously focus on what matters in a given decision situation, but keep awareness open for the unexpected. Because some research subjects emerge again and again in the work of a scenario planner, some planners recommend to move along these typical topics during research before looking for others. Such typical topics are: science and technology developments; perception-shaping events, that shape or change the perception of the public; new ideas that emerge in the “fringes” (that means not in the mainstream) and are spreading further.

According to my Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary, a futurist can mean "one who is a believer in or practitioner of futurism" -- i.e., "a point of view that finds meaning or fulfillment in the future rather than in the past or present." "Prognosticator," on the other hand, is defined at the www.freedictionary.com site as "someone who makes predictions of the future (usually on the basis of special knowledge)" and might therefore be the better choice in order to avoid a confusion of meanings.
