Famous construction of Fermat-Toricelly point of a triangle leads to the question is there a similar way to construct other isogonic centers of a triangle in a similar way. For a purpose we remember that Fermat-Torricelli point of a triangle ΔABC is obtained by constructing equilateral triangles outwardly on the sides AB,BC and CA. If we denote thirth vertices of those triangles by C1 ,A1 and B1 respectively, then the lines AA1 ,BB1 and CC1 concurr at the Fermat-Torricelli point of a triangle ΔABC (Van Lamoen, 2003). In this work we present the condition for the concurrence, of the lines AA1 ,BB1 and C1 , where C1 ,A1 and B1 are the vertices of an isosceles triangles constructed on the sides AB,BC and CA (not necessarily outwordly) of a triangle ΔABC. The angles at this work are strictly positive directed so we recommend the reader to pay attention to this fact.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Futures Triangle 2.0, a methodological advancement of the Futures Triangle method (Inayatullah, 2008), which better integrates the original method with Scenario Planning by visually representing scenarios against the three dimensions of the Triangle, i.e. pulls, pushes and weights.


Design/methodology/approach
The paper explains the theoretical rationale behind the creation of the method, outlines the steps required to use it in a futures workshop or in a futures research project with a step-by-step procedure and reports a case study of its application in practice.


Findings
The Futures Triangle 2.0 encourages a deliberate and systematic discussion on the three dimensions of the Futures Triangle in each scenario and on whether scenarios differ in these attributes. The method allows the foresight researcher/practitioner to capture the valuable tensions between weights on the past on one hand and pushes of the present/pulls of the futures on the other hand, and to make sure that the scenarios differ substantially in these three attributes.


Originality/value
The method integrates the Futures Triangle and Scenario Planning in an intuitive, easily reproducible and visually pleasant graphical procedure.
