About the Theme

Foresight Insights offers a broad look at the world of foresight. In an era of progress and rapid advances, there is a need for innovative tools to make sense of a world that is changing. Anticipating the future is crucial today for better decision making, to foster understanding of others and seize opportunities. Foresight emerges as a pivotal tool traces an arc from the past, to the present and to possible futures. It encapsulates many approaches that can be integrated into diverse subjects and for diverse purposes including planning, strategy and policy development. What’s perhaps most exciting is that foresight is about a discovery of new and emerging topics that extend beyond our current understanding, projecting into futures yet to unfold.

What criteria can be applied to characterise something as having a foresight outlook, and what criticisms might arise in this classification?

How does "Foresight Insights" contribute to the diversification of futuristic thinking, and what role does this diversified perspective play in navigating the intricate realms of the future?
