Overview
Foresight is one of humanity's superpowers. We all use it every day, well or poorly, in a foresight-action cycle, to anticipate, create, and manage the future. Foresight professionals are anyone tasked to think about probable, possible, preferable, or preventable futures for others, over any time horizon. Foresight is both a set of time-tested practices, and emerging models of adaptiveness and values, rooted in psychology and complex systems research. We owe it to ourselves, our teams, and our civilization to apply the best practices, models, and worldviews in this vital, exciting, and powerful field. The two books of The Foresight Guide, updated periodically by our team at Foresight University, help executives and students become foresight leaders, starting with themselves and their teams. Book 1 (this book), Introduction to Foresight, covers personal, team, and organizational foresight practices, and their great benefits and challenges. Book 2, Big Picture Foresight (Feb 2022), covers key 21st century models, trends, issues, opportunities, problems, and stories of societal and global adaptiveness, in a world of accelerating change and machine intelligence. Each book is available in both an abridged Executive Edition and an expanded Student Edition. The focus of each book is not just strategic foresight, which will make us more effective in our short-term strategy and actions, independent of our goals and values, but adaptive foresight, or the evidence-based goals, values and practices most likely to improve our personal and group adaptiveness, in any environment, over the long term. This Executive Edition is an ideal text for executives and leaders seeking to understand the vital field of foresight, and to apply it better for themselves, their teams, and in their organizations. Organizational foresight emerged in the mid-20th century, and spans twenty specialties in strategic management, yet it is still poorly understood by many executives and leaders. Read and apply this book, and realize your foresight superpowers.
