The Role of Foresight in Organisations

We experience a growing emphasis on foresight within the organisations we engage with. This trend is accompanied by a noteworthy shift towards formalizing the discipline of foresight. Foresight manifests in various organisational forms, with multiple pathways for implementation. Some organisations entrust foresight to a small team or even a single individual, while others adopt a more distributed approach. There are also those with dedicated foresight functions.

To gain a better understanding of how organisations are effectively leveraging foresight, we've conducted a series of qualitative interviews with foresight practitioners from eight diverse organisations. This whitepaper encapsulates the key takeaways from these interviews, supplemented by our extensive practical experience in advising organisations on this subject.
