Strategic foresight is discipline that organizations adopt to gather, interpret, manage information about the future environment they plan to operate in. This book introduces the concept of strategic foresight and advocates a holistic and systemic foresight approach comprising five phases that are suitable for organizations in the public and private sectors. Using real‐life cases as practical examples, the book demonstrates how organizations can apply a range of foresight methods and resources across the phases from intelligence to implementation. The book offers an opportunity to learn by all key stakeholders. It enhances the understanding of the National Research Organization's Foresight exercise (as the complex social phenomenon) in its context. The case study of the National Research Organisation provides lessons and insights that can improve both the theoretical and practical implementation of the Foresight Exercise.Dr Mlungisi CeleActing Head: National Advisory Council on InnovationDepartment of Science and Technology, Republic of South Africa Foresight methodologies have been widely spreading among business and research organizations worldwide during the last decades. The weakest point of many forward-looking activities so far was the lack of their practical use. The books shows, on a number of cases, how a Foresight study, being wisely designed and implemented, can become a useful navigation tool for increasing competitiveness in the fast changing environment.

Very often, books on this theme only expound the approaches. Sarah goes beyond in sharing the pitfalls and challenges during the different stages of the systemic foresight methodology so that readers can learn and avoid the mistakes that other companies made. The emphasis on open innovation and intellectual property management is valuable as many organizations fail to deliver the vision due to insufficient attention on these two aspects. A must read if you wish to master strategic foresight.Dr Terence HungChief, Future Intelligence TechnologiesRolls-Royce Singapore Pte Ltd Why do people want to know the future? People want to use budget efficiently or don't want to waste time? Aside from those who see the future, like fortune tellers, how do we make the future? Foresight is known as a method of creating the future in a way that many people has been using. So how is it different between Forecast and Foresight? This book will help answer that.Dr Kuniko UrashimaDeputy Director of Foresight CenterNational Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP), Japan .

What does plausibility mean in relation to scenario planning and how do users of scenarios assess it? Despite the concept's ubiquity, its epistemological and empirical foundations remain unexplored in previous research. Ricarda Schmidt-Scheele offers an interdisciplinary perspective: she presents approaches from philosophy of sciences, cognitive psychology, narrative theory and linguistics, and tests key hypotheses in an experimental study. A conceptual map lays out indicators for scenario plausibility and explains how assessments vary across scenario methods. This helps researchers and practitioners to better understand the implications of their methodological choices in scenario development.

This book features a comprehensive foresight assessment, exploring the pressures — threats as well as opportunities — on the global agriculture & food systems between now and 2050. The overarching aim is to help readers understand the context, by analyzing global trends and anticipating change for better planning and constructing pathways from the present to the future by focusing on the right questions and problems. The book contextualizes the role of international agricultural research in addressing the complex challenges posed by UN 2030 Agenda and beyond, and identifies the decisions that scientific leaders, donors and policy makers need to take today, and in the years ahead, to ensure that a global population rising to nine billion or more combined with rising incomes and changing diets can be fed sustainably and equitably, in the face of the growing climate threats.

Institutional and technological change is a highly topical subject. At the theoretical level, there is much debate in the field of institutional economics about the role of technological change in endogenous growth theory. At a practical policy level, arguments rage about how Japan and the Japanese economy should plan for the future. In this book, leading economists and economic historians of Japan examine a range of key issues concerning institutional and technological change in Japan, rigorously using discipline-based tools of analysis, and drawing important conclusions as t

Scenario planning is a long and well-established approach to help leaders create novel insights and challenge what they know of the world to influence future action. But as the world becomes increasingly unpredictable, leaders must question the traditional mode of analysing the contextual environment and adopt new capabilities to embrace change while they redefine and reframe their organisation for the future. The Evolution of Scenario Planning explores the pervasive nature of change. It provides a contemporary approach to using scenarios as strategic conversation to embrace experiences - past and present - to create novel understanding and insights. The book uses case studies and practical examples to guide facilitators in applying the scenario process in their organisation. Leaders, senior managers, consultants and academics will learn how to engage with scenarios as a central element of strategy and better understand their role in strategic leadership. They will also gain insight into the skills and capabilities revealed during the process of strategic conversation, where ambiguity and equivocality is a natural feature of such conversation. The Evolution of Scenario Planning makes a compelling case for using scenarios to enable leaders to develop foresight and attunement to grasp the ongoing dynamic of their uncertain and ambiguous world.

« Placer la strategic foresight au cœur de l’élaboration des politiques européennes ». C’est par cette phrase que Maros Sefcovic, Vice-Président de la Commission européenne, en charge de la prospective et des relations interinstitutionnelles résume la mission qui lui a été confiée. En décembre 2019, la Commission s’est en effet dotée pour la première fois d’un Commissaire en charge de la prospective. À la même période, le Secrétariat général du Conseil de l’Union européenne fonde une unité de strategic foresight. Le Parlement européen fait de même, dix ans après avoir été à l’origine de la création d’un cadre de coopération entre les institutions européennes en matière d’analyse des tendances à moyen et à long terme, l’European Strategy and Policy Analysis System (ESPAS). Ces dernières années sont donc marquées par un engouement européen pour la strategic foresight. C’est à ce dernier que ce travail de fin d’études propose de s’intéresser en questionnant l’existence en la matière d’une coopération et d’une vision commune entre les institutions politiques de l’Union européenne. La première partie de ce document consiste en une revue de la littérature visant, d’une part, à expliciter les notions de prospective et de strategic foresight et, d’autre part, à s’intéresser à l’analyse séquentielle et plus précisément aux notions de mise à l’agenda et d’implémentation. La deuxième partie du travail prend en effet appui sur ce séquençage pour mener à bien l’analyse de notre cas pratique. Il s’agit d’abord de comprendre les raisons qui expliquent la création d’unités de strategic foresight au sein des institutions européennes et ce, avec une optique de comparaison des institutions. Ainsi, ce document cherche à identifier les points communs et les différences dans ce processus de mise à l’agenda de la foresight. Ensuite, le travail se focalise sur l’implémentation et le fonctionnement de ces unités. Cette analyse est menée sous différents angles : les objectifs, la méthodologie et les outils utilisés, les parties prenantes internes et externes ainsi que la relation entre foresighters et pouvoir politique. A nouveau, le but est d’identifier les points communs entre les institutions et, surtout, l’existence ou, au contraire l’absence, de coopération entre ces dernières en matière de strategic foresight.

Der soziotechnische Wandel bringt neue Phänomene des Zufalls hervor, die sich den üblichen Strategien des Umgangs mit Risiken und Unsicherheit entziehen. Diese Akzidenzphänomene sind prinzipiell unvorhersehbar und in ihrer komplexen Effektgesamtheit jenseits von Kalkulation und Antizipation. Eine allgemeine Verzukünftigung unseres Weltbezuges mit spezifischen weitreichenden Problemen ist die Folge und lässt klassische Agenturen des Risikomanagements und der Unsicherheitsbewältigung an ihre Leistungsgrenzen stoßen. Bruno Gransche zeigt, dass Philosophie und Zukunftsforschung gemeinsam großes Potenzial aufweisen, hier zu helfen.
