	abstract = {This paper reports practical experience with a project called "Airports of the Future" carried out in BAA plc, the leading owner and operator of airports in the UK. Airport infrastructure involves large capital investment and typically has a lifetime measured in decades; the project aimed to change the way BAA looks at the future, with the incorporation of more systematic "future-proofing" activities. After an introduction to the organisational context, the work is described, providing the background for two suggestions for research activity: "political context" forecasting and a "science" of flexibility. The paper ends with a list of practical managerial learning points relevant to innovation in a large corporate environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]},
