Foresight activities and work on the future
Our operating environment is changing fast. Future challenges will be multidimensional and interdependent. We live in a world in which decision-making requires a broad understanding of complex wholes. Foresight activities, which sketch out future development paths, represent an attempt to satisfy the need for such knowledge.
