Jack Latona established the Center for Creating the Future, Inc., in 2001 as a think tank to further explore concepts about he future he had developed for a university course on The Millennium.
    In addition to their theoretical interest, these concepts have significant practical applications for businesses and other organizations.
    As a result, The Center�s web site now has two sections, one to continue theoretical discussion of the future, the other to provide information on how The Center can assist organizations to begin to crate their futures now.
