2. To make better decisions, based on a clear understanding of the likely implications of different futures.

3. To manage risks more effectively.

4. To create a more open and innovative culture within your organisation.

Strategic foresight enables organisations to plan for futures and make decisions with greater confidence. The process of strategic foresight asks questions like ‘what could happen?’ or 'how might things change over time'. It uses ideas about possible futures in order anticipate changes before they occur, which means that you are more prepared for what might happen next.

There are many different methods of strategic foresight, but all involve thinking about futures in a systematic and structured way. This includes identifying probable, possible, and preferred futures, understanding the drivers of change, and analysing the implications of different futures.
