Framework for Strategic Foresight Activities and Tools PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 51-slide Strategic Foresight and Uncertainty PowerPoint presentation, presents an Integrated Foresight Framework, detailing key activities and associated tools essential for organizations aiming to navigate complex future scenarios. It outlines 5 primary activities that guide strategic foresight: identifying patterns of change, examining impacts, imagining alternative outcomes, envisioning preferred futures, and identifying stakeholders and resources.

The first activity focuses on recognizing trends and emerging issues across selected variables. This involves systematic data collection and monitoring, employing tools like horizon scanning and survey research to gather relevant insights. The second activity emphasizes the need to assess and critique the various impacts—primary, secondary, and tertiary—of identified trends. This requires a nuanced understanding of inequities and differential access, utilizing methods such as causal layered analysis and cross-impact analysis.

Imagining alternative outcomes is the third activity, encouraging organizations to build diverse scenarios. This activity leverages content analysis and econometric models to facilitate creative thinking about potential futures. The fourth activity, envisioning preferred futures, involves articulating desired outcomes and leveraging tools like future workshops and community visioning to align stakeholders around a common vision.

Lastly, identifying stakeholders and resources is crucial for effective foresight. This ensures that the right people and tools are in place to support the foresight process. The slide concludes with a note on the diagram's purpose, illustrating how data from horizon scanning transforms through these activities, emphasizing the structured approach to strategic foresight. This framework can be instrumental for organizations looking to enhance their strategic planning capabilities and adapt to an ever-evolving environment.
