Foresight and Future Studies
Foresight and Future Studies involve systematic methods to explore and anticipate potential future developments. This field combines insights from various disciplines, including sociology, economics, and technology, to identify trends and emerging issues. Practitioners use tools like scenario planning and trend analysis to help organizations and societies prepare for possible futures.
The goal of Foresight is not to predict the future with certainty but to understand various possibilities and their implications. By examining factors such as demographics, environmental changes, and technological advancements, Foresight helps decision-makers create strategies that are resilient and adaptable to change.
