Core Tools for Strategic Foresight Practices PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 51-slide Strategic Foresight and Uncertainty PowerPoint presentation, presents a structured overview of strategic foresight methods categorized into quantitative and qualitative tools used in corporate foresight practices. The vertical axis distinguishes between these 2 categories, with quantitative methods listed at the top and qualitative methods at the bottom.

Quantitative tools include patent analysis, trend extrapolation, bibliometrics/mapping, cost-benefit analysis, stockholder analysis, relevance trees, and literature analysis. These methods focus on numerical data and statistical techniques to derive insights and predict future trends. For instance, patent analysis can reveal innovation patterns, while cost-benefit analysis helps assess the viability of potential projects.

On the qualitative side, brainstorming is highlighted as a key method. This approach emphasizes creative thinking and group collaboration to generate ideas and solutions. Other qualitative methods, although not explicitly listed, likely include techniques such as Delphi, historical analogies, roadmaps, and scenario planning, which are shown in a lighter shade. These methods rely on expert opinions and narrative scenarios to explore possible futures and strategic options.

The bottom note emphasizes that while the specific mix of methods may vary across organizations, the fundamental toolkit remains relatively consistent. This suggests that companies can benefit from adopting a core set of practices while tailoring them to their unique contexts. The slide serves as a valuable reference for executives looking to enhance their foresight capabilities and navigate uncertainty effectively.



This slide is part of the Strategic Foresight and Uncertainty PowerPoint presentation.
