CIFS Toolkit for Applied Strategic Foresight

From the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies:

This collection of tools and approaches has been carefully curated and refined based on our own extensive experience in the field of foresight, combined with insights drawn from other thinkers and practitioners.

While the toolkit will help you apply strategic foresight to your work, it will not teach you how to predict the future, or provide you with definitive answers. It can help you explore and analyse emerging change and possible futures as a powerful and valuable addition to your strategic thinking, but it cannot tell you when to act, or exactly what to do.

The toolkit is also not a beginner's step-by-step guide to each of the tools nor a theoretical overview. Rather, the toolkit offers practical insights, honed through many years of CIFS’ applied foresight work. It gives an overall description of each tool/approach, along with key considerations that can help in successfully delivering the technique. The tools are adaptable, and can hence be customised to meet the needs of most futures projects.
