One way to make sense of what's happening is to think like a futurist. Futurists use foresight to examine trends and identify potential scenarios for the future. This helps them to see both the opportunities and the challenges that lie ahead.

Foresight is a critical business tool for today because it helps organisations to identify potential future opportunities and threats, adapt to rapidly changing and uncertain environments, and make better decisions. Foresight can help leaders understand the potential implications of deep changes in their industry or market, and enable them to maximise first-mover advantages.
