Prediction of the future is implicit in most management decisions. This paper examines how far it is necessary to make this prediction explicit in deciding management strategy, what technical changes are likely to affect survey and photogrammetry in the near and medium term future, and the balance between the disciplines. The question is posed as to what extent management should invest effort and money in attempting to stay ahead of the game.
