Indicator developed by the IMD Center for Future Readiness
Future Readiness Indicator is an indicator developed by the IMD Center for Future Readiness.[1][2][3] It evaluates a company's preparedness for long-term trends.[4] A systematic methodology generates a composite score for each entity, allowing identification of industry leaders and an examination of their respective behaviors and attitudes. It is developed by Howard Yu.[5]
The Future Readiness Indicator, developed in 2021 (some rankings are backdated to 2010 as analysis only), annually evaluates the adaptability of the largest companies of the world to future challenges.[5][6]
The indicator is calculated by collecting each company's historical data, performing computations for each variable, standardizing criteria data, aggregating variables into main factors, and assigning an overall ranking.[9] Each company is ranked from 1 (best) to n (worst, n=sample size) on a 1-100 scale.[7]
