Strategic Foresight
What factors should you consider to guide your organization toward a promising but uncertain future? How can you ensure you are leading the company in an accurate strategic direction?
When you decide to leverage foresight in your organization, you cultivate an adaptive steering mindset, fostering a future-ready culture. This approach encourages systemic thinking, from research initiatives to understanding how your organization’s outputs impact the broader ecosystem and vice versa.
Regardless of your company’s size or industry, you can be better positioned for long-term uncertainties by utilizing scenarios, systems thinking, and workshops to make more informed decisions today.

Go Deeper with Transformative Foresight
A growing movement of leaders and practitioners are embracing a Transformative Foresight mindset as a vital tool for cultivating a culture of collective learning and collaboration in the pursuit of desireable futures. By delving deeper into foresight principles, these leaders are co-creating desirable futures that align with their organization’s values and aspirations. This proactive approach empowers teams to navigate uncertainty with confidence and drive sustainable innovation.
Transformative Foresight is not seen as an alternative to Strategic Foresight, but rather, a way to strengthen the findings and actions identified during a Strategic Foresight effort.
Characteristics of a Transformative Foresight mindset:
- Vision-Oriented: This approach prioritizes the co-creation of shared visions of desirable futures, encouraging participants to articulate what they want to achieve rather than developing strategic plans and reacting to potential threats or challenges.
- Values Agency and Empowerment: There is a strong emphasis on individual and collective agency, which fosters a mindset that believes in the capacity to effect change and shape outcomes.
- Strong Emphasis on Collaboration and Inclusivity: This approach encourages collaboration among diverse stakeholders, valuing multiple perspectives and collective input in the visioning process.
