Abstract
Foresight can support policymakers to address long-term goals
and navigate uncertainty in a context of poly- and perma-crisis.
Common foresight methods like scenario planning and horizon
scanning are commonly deployed to anticipate future risks and
opportunities, and test interventions against different trends and
possible futures. However, as governments and organisations
develop their foresight functions, there is a risk of seeing foresight
only as a set of tools or guidance, or as an extra administrative
step. Instead, the transformational power of foresight lies in
challenging conventional thinking and assumptions at all stages of
policymaking. We argue that, to enable a culture of anticipation,
organisations should go beyond guidance and embed foresight
as a practice throughout the policy cycle. In so doing, it is
important that organisations pay particular attention to inclusive
and appropriate participation of multiple actors and stakeholders.
