ATM Industry Association CEO Mike Lee has published a second book about the future, "Codebreaking Our Future — deciphering the future's hidden order." The book aims to provide leaders with a model for identifying the structures that will determine the future.

"Business leaders today cannot afford to be inattentive to the future," said Lee. "It's a myth that the future is lost behind a mist of uncertainty, that it's out of bounds for our thinking. It can be understood, anticipated and managed."

Lee works from a model of the future that is based on causation and uses scientific methods to produce foresight.

"Lee decodes the process of finding the future for individuals, organizations, and nations alike," said Cynthia Wagner, editor of The Futurist, a magazine published by the World Future Society since 1967.

"Michael Lee's new book melds the wisdom of the ages with modern science to forge a unique causation model for forecasting the future," wrote U.S. economic futurist, Rob Bencini. "His superior sourcing and research paired with an excellent logic flow gives us both a scenario and modeling forecast for strategic foresight."

"Our ATM industry is subject to the same forces of change as the rest of the world and no product, technology, organization or individual is unaffected by these currents of time," Lee said. "But there are definite ways of planning and shaping the future of our industry. We can strive to be visionary in our thinking."

"Codebreaking our Future – deciphering the future's hidden order" follows Lee's 2012 book, Knowing our Future. Further details are available at infideas.com/books/codebreaking-future-2/ and at amazon.com/Codebreaking-our-future-Deciphering-futures/dp/1908984260
