Future-proofing is already being successfully developed and practiced as a planning approach in several industries (e.g. electronics, engineering, construction). In essence, future-proofing means that an architecture, of whatever kind, is planned and realized in such a way that it can essentially be maintained for as long as possible, even and especially if requirements and components change in the future. For the first time, this assessment performs an original transfer of ten future proofing principles to an organization (cluster 1 'Actor Potential'). The second cluster, 'Environment Sensitivity', addresses two organizational environments – transactional/industry and contextual/global – thereby supplementing the actor perspective in order to create a holistic snapshot of future readiness.
