Millennium Project Planning Committee.Purpose: Improve humanity's prospects for building a better future.Mission: Improve thinking about the future and make that thinking availablethrough a variety of media for feedback to accumulate wisdom about the future for better decisions today.Vision: A global foresight network of Nodes, information, and software, building a global collective intelligence system recognized for its ability to improve prospects for humanity. A think tank on behalf of humanity, not on behalf of a government, or an issue, or an ideology, but on behalf of building a better future for all of us.
