Our Approach

What can Strategic Foresight do for your organisation?

In an environment of rapid social, economic, and technological change, Strategic Foresight is an essential tool to support public sector organisations to stay ahead. It enables policymakers and leaders to identify early warning signs of change, adapt public services effectively, and make decisions that protect the public interest over the long term.  

Highlight emerging societal trends and potential risks that may affect public policy and service delivery. A health department might anticipate future public health challenges such as pandemics or the impact of ageing populations.

Explore a range of future scenarios to inform robust and adaptable policy development. Transport authorities could plan for shifts in mobility patterns driven by technology like autonomous vehicles or changing commuter behaviours.

Support evidence-based decision-making with a long-term perspective. The Education sector could use foresight to prepare for evolving skill needs and digital learning trends. 

Encourage innovation in public services to meet evolving community needs. Social services might develop new approaches to support vulnerable groups as demographic and economic conditions change.

Strengthen organisational resilience by preparing for uncertainty and complex challenges. Emergency services could use foresight to enhance disaster preparedness and response strategies in the face of climate change or cyber threats.
