What is foresight?

  • Foresight is the umbrella term for innovative, strategic planning, policy formulation and solution design methods that don’t predict or forecast the future, but work to design alternative futures. Foresight has been defined as “a systematic, participatory, future-intelligence- gathering and medium-to-long-term vision-building process aimed at enabling present-day decisions and mobilizing joint action.”
  • Foresight dissolves the boundaries of the current narrative situation, world-view or paradigm that you may feel trapped within
  • Foresight spots the useful signals in the useless noise.
  • Foresight researches, shapes, influences and guides the most preferred futures.
  • Foresight empowers decision makers and policy planners to use new ways of thinking about, talking about, and implementing strategic plans that are compatible with the unfolding future.
  • Foresight is encapsulated in our proprietary process focused on experiential innovation or eXOvation (TM).

For example, in your very near-future:

Nearly 50% of companies expect that automation will lead to some reduction in their full-time workforce by 2022, based on the job profiles of their employee base today. However, 38% of businesses surveyed expect to extend their workforce to new productivity-enhancing roles, and more than a quarter expect automation to lead to the creation of new roles in their enterprise. ~ WEF 2018-22 Jobs Report.

As a leader, is your organization #ready for the waves of disruption and opportunity from the exponential evolutions of the 21st century? #wave21

“We Futurists do not make predictions. We shape and influence your prefered future.

As futurists, we listen and look deeply into the future. So then we can guide your organization to execute practically designed solutions in alignment with your true soul mission.”

We provide research & guidance for visionary leaders to help you get ready now for:

    • hyper-converging,
    • simultaneously emerging,

The RITE™ way:

All of our work leads rapidly and naturally to practical futurism engagements. We call our solutions approach to near-futurism: the RITE™ way.

  1. Research – the “why, who, how and what” patterns of the vision for where you are and where need to be
  2. Innovation – in order to surf the #wave21 we identify essential new mindsets and approaches
  3. Technology – to deliver on new visions requires implementation, engagement and adoption of new actions and new systems
  4. Experience – Everything we do is captured inside of the concentric circles of RITE, the core being what it is actually like for humans to interact and thrive in their future experience

How does Foresight help?

Foresight is variously known as futures studies, futurism and futurology. It’s about what’s next. The work involves the painstaking study of many possible future timelines. The results are typically of most use to organisational leaders who are tasked with guiding their organisations to the next best steps. With near-futurism we are less about prediction and more about what practical solutions can be implemented next. Three factors usually distinguish futurism from work conducted by other, more common disciplines.

    • TRENDS: First, futures studies often examines trends to compose possible, probable, and preferable futures along with the role “wild cards” can play on future scenarios.
    • SYSTEMS: Second, futures studies typically attempts to gain a holistic or systemic view based on insights from a range of different disciplines, generally focusing on the “steep” categories of Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental and Political.
    • ASSUMPTIONS: Third, futures studies challenges and unpacks the assumptions behind dominant and contending views of the future. The future thus is not empty but fraught with hidden assumptions. For example, many people expect the collapse of the Earth’s ecosystem in the near future, while others believe the current ecosystem will survive indefinitely. A foresight approach would seek to analyze and highlight the assumptions underpinning such views.
