Why Futures Thinking Crafted by Hands Matters.
"Hand-crafted futures"—bespoke strategic foresight approaches—are crucial for modern organisations. Generic trend reports are inadequate as they fail to address an organisation's unique culture, challenges, and aspirations, potentially causing misaligned priorities and a false sense of security. Conversely, a hand-crafted approach emphasises human insight, collaboration, and creativity, resulting in deeply relevant, adaptable, and resilient foresight.
