What We Do

AI Strategic Foresight Delivery System

Building AI capabilities to drive organizational strategic decision-making.



We help companies, organizations and governments to build strategic foresight capability by leveraging the power of AI and machine learning.


AI is revolutionizing how companies, organizations and governments plan for the future, enabling more sophisticated scenario planning, environmental & horizon scanning, and strategic decision-making. As organizations and governments navigate an uncertain and rapidly evolving landscape, the integration of AI/Machine learning into strategic foresight has become a strategic imperative.



AI for Strategic Foresight


Strategic foresight is the systematic process of gathering future-relevant information through environmental scanning activities to extrapolate different plausible scenarios that could benefit the strategic development of an organization or nation. Organizations and government agencies can anticipate and prepare for future opportunities and challenges through this scenario planning and align their innovation planning and goals accordingly. 1


We take a two-pronged approach in our strategic foresight capability building programs:


    Step 1A: Introduce the principles and practice of Strategic Foresight


    Step 1B: Introduce how AI and machine learning works


    Step 2: Develop the knowledge and skills to leverage AI/Machine Learning for strategic futures work – this is applied AI/Machine Learning



Strategic Foresight Capability-building Programs


For our Strategic Foresight capability building programs, we introduce key skills, tools and platforms relevant to both government and industry foresight work in the following 4 programs which are typically tailored to suit the organisation:


    Foresight 101
    This introductory program focuses on identifying signs of change, sense-making and communicating insights. Budding futurists will be exposed to a range of basic tools to get started in their futures journey.


    Foresight 102: Building Futures Toolkit
    This program focuses on uncovering and challenging assumptions and biases in how industry players design and develop products and services to create value. For policy makers, we cover public policy issues in the context of industry oversight and regulations and what it takes to create resilient economies. Participants will come up with a range of possible futures which can be used to generate conversations on emerging issues and manage change to execute projects and initiatives effectively.


    Foresight 201: Scenario Planning Workshop
    In this program, we focus on the scenario planning methodology, from defining the focal concern and driving force analysis to constructing scenario frameworks, scenario-writing and translating scenarios to strategies.


    Foresight 202: Use of AI/Machine learning for Futures Work
    AI is being increasingly leveraged to enhance foresight capabilities by providing more advanced tools for scenario planning and horizon scanning. In this program, we use AI-enabled continuous horizon scanning to identify emerging trends and potential disruptions. This gives organizations and governments a strategic advantage by enabling them to act on opportunities and mitigate threats efficiently.


We help organizations create and leverage digital platforms to manage teams tasked to do horizon scanning by identifying emerging trends and potential disruptions, providing organizations with the ability to act swiftly and strategically.
