The report was contracted out to The Hudson Institute, a non-profit research organization that analyzes and makes policy recommendations for business and government and the public. Hudson partnered with a group called Creating the Future, Inc., headed by futurist Ed Barlow. Not only was the 1999 external environment report the Committee’s annual report, but it also served a special purpose. The Committee was assigned by the ASME Board of Governors to put together a report that would be of particular use by ASME leadership as they participate in a planning exercise for the organization and deliberate over future ASME programs and activities.
