DOCUMENT DESCRIPTION
Even before COVID-19, the world has been witnessing accelerating change and increasing complexity, partly due to the speed of technological development and adoption.
Strategic foresight includes a collection of method to help consider and anticipate an array of possible futures that could impact an organization, making it more adapt at facing "VUCA" - volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity.
While a strategic foresight exercise traditionally focused on a 10- to 20-year time horizon, the high levels of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic requires looking at significantly shorter time horizons.
With the traditional strategic planning assuming a reasonably stable
environment, the strategic planning process can be enhanced by embedding foresight methods and tools.
