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.Keywords:airportsfuture-proofinginnovationcase studyflexibility Remember to check out the Most Cited Articles!
