Think Forward: Conversations with Futurists, Innovators and Big Thinkers FIF Series EP 2 - What is Foresight?
Foresight is the ability to explore multiple possible futures rather than predict one exact outcome. We differentiate this practical approach from fortune-telling and explain why developing foresight is essential in our rapidly changing world.
• Foresight involves anticipating change, preparing for possibilities, and making better decisions today
• Unlike prediction, foresight recognizes there are many possible futures, not just one inevitable outcome
• Companies like Amazon and Google succeeded by considering multiple future scenarios for the internet
• Foresight benefits everyone—from business leaders to individuals making career or personal decisions
• The practice starts by noticing changes happening around you and considering their long-term impacts
• Developing foresight helps you shape the future rather than just reacting to changes after they happen
