• CSR Manager.org - Strategic Foresight: Effective Decision-Support Systems

  More than ever, strategic decision-makers are expected to develop sustainable long-term strategies for their public or private organizations. Strategic foresight systems support decision-makers in systematically improving the quality of their future assumptions, strategic decisions, and plans. This article summarizes the most important mechanisms of support, presents three distinctive types of foresight systems and widely used methods, and explains how strategic foresight is anchored in actual day-to-day practice.

• CSR Manager.org - The Role of Corporate Foresight in Promoting Sustainability

  In this article we want to give our answer to the question about if and how corporate foresight can increase the likelihood that we move toward sustainability – both on a company and a societal level. Before entering into the discussion of what corporate foresight can do, let us highlight some of our observations on what is holding us back from engaging in sustainability actions, and thus creating sustainability of the necessary trajectory, scale, and velocity to actually meet the societal challenges.

• Global Compact International Yearbook - Corporate Foresight: An Introduction

  Business as usual is no longer an option! There is a growing realization among more and more politicians, businesses, and members of society that things cannot continue as they are. The number of challenges and issues that must be tackled and dealt with at a global level is enormous, viz.: human-induced climate change and the search for ways to develop a low-carbon economy; rapid population growth in developing and newly-industrialized countries; questions surrounding which fuels can be used in the energy mix to meet growing demand; and the distribution of food and raw materials. Then there are also basic social questions about how to ensure that wealth is fairly distributed, how to overcome the persistent poverty in the developing world that results from the pillaging of natural resources, and how to encourage civic participation in political and economic decision-making.

• CSR Manager.org - The Millennium Project Experience

  The explosion of information, the increasing complexity of society, and the accelerating rate of technological change means previous information systems and sources are unable to give just-in-time guidance to inform the strategic planning process. One approach to improve input to strategic foresight is collective intelligence. I define it as an emergent property from synergies among databainformationbaknowledge, softwarebahardware, and experts (those with new insights as well as recognized authorities) that continually learn from feedback to produce just-in-time knowledge for better decisions than these elements would produce acting alone. The Millennium Project is a new kind of think tank producing foresight about the changing global strategic landscape. Its operations, implications for corporations, and next steps in creating a Global Futures Collective Intelligence System will be explained.

• CSR Manager.org - The Millenium Project

  The Millennium Project was founded in 1996 after a three-year feasibility study with the United Nations University, Smithsonian Institution, Futures Group International, and the American Council for the UNU. It is now an independent non-profit global participatory futures research think tank of futurists, scholars, business planners, and policy makers who work for international organizations, governments, corporations, NGOs, and universities. The Millennium Project manages a coherent and cumulative process that collects and assesses judgments from over 2,500 people since the beginning of the project selected by its 40 Nodes around the world. The work is distilled in its annual "State of the Future", "Futures Research Methodology" series, and special studies.
