You should read this if… you are concerned that treating AI as a short‑term technology initiative rather than a long‑term strategic force creates material governance and strategy risk. The article argues that most AI conversations fixate on current tools and use cases, while effective leadership requires anticipating AI’s broader future impacts on industries, economies, and society, and shifting from reactive adoption to proactive strategic agility. It positions strategic foresight as a core executive capability, providing a structured way to navigate uncertainty, surface emerging risks and opportunities, and embed AI considerations into enterprise strategy, resilience, and long‑term value creation rather than experimentation driven by hype.

You should read this if… you are a CEO or board member looking for a proven, structured way to move beyond short‑term planning and actively shape your organisation’s future. This article introduces Sohail Inayatullah’s Six Pillars of Futures Thinking—mapping, anticipating, timing, deepening, creating alternatives, and transforming—as a comprehensive framework for understanding change and designing preferred futures rather than defaulting to inherited or “used” ones. It explains how the six pillars help leaders recover strategic agency, challenge dominant assumptions, explore alternative pathways, and align action with long‑term transformation in an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

You should read this if… you are looking for a simple, powerful way to make sense of the forces shaping your organisation’s future. This video introduces the Futures Triangle, a foresight tool developed by Prof. Sohail Inayatullah, and explains how it helps leaders map the push of present trends, the pull of preferred futures, and the weight of past assumptions and structures. By visualising how these three forces interact, the Futures Triangle creates a shared frame for better planning and decision‑making—helping organisations clarify what is driving change, what is holding them back, and what kind of future they are actively working towards to support impact and future growth.
