Why use futures thinking?

In modern organisations, simply reacting to short-term developments in the current environment as they come is not adequate.

Organisation's must look ahead to potential challenges on and beyond the horizon, a term called Strategic Foresight.

Strategic foresight helps organisations anticipate long-term change in the future environment to make better decisions now. It is a set of approaches that help explore, imagine, and anticipate the future in an open but structured way.
