Strategic Foresight: Framework and Key Inquiries PPT


This PPT slide, part of the 51-slide Strategic Foresight and Uncertainty PowerPoint presentation, presents a framework for the foresight process, highlighting key activities and associated questions that guide strategic decision-making. It is structured into 3 main sections: Inputs, Foresight, and Outputs, each accompanied by specific activities and critical inquiries.

The "Inputs" section begins with "Scanning for Strategic Intelligence," which suggests a proactive approach to gathering relevant data and insights. This foundational activity is essential for establishing a comprehensive understanding of the environment. Following this, "Foresight Work" encompasses 3 critical components: Analysis, Interpretation, and Prospection. Each of these components is linked to probing questions that drive deeper exploration into current and future scenarios. For instance, "What seems to be happening?" prompts an initial assessment, while "What’s really happening?" encourages a more nuanced understanding of underlying trends.

The "Outputs" section emphasizes the importance of translating insights into actionable strategies. The questions posed here, such as "What might we need to do?" and "What will it lead to?" are crucial for aligning foresight with organizational objectives. They highlight the necessity of not just understanding the present and future, but also determining the appropriate responses to identified challenges and opportunities.

This framework serves as a comprehensive guide for organizations aiming to enhance their strategic foresight capabilities. It underscores the interconnectedness of data gathering, analysis, and strategic action, providing a structured approach to navigating uncertainty. By employing this process, executives can better anticipate changes and make informed decisions that drive long-term success.



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