Strategic foresight is a planning-oriented discipline related to futures studies.
[1][2] Strategy is a high level plan to achieve one or more goals under conditions of uncertainty.
[3] Strategic foresight happens when any planner uses scanned inputs, forecasts, alternative futures exploration, analysis and feedback to produce or alter plans and actions of the organization.
[6] It is the job of the strategic foresight professional to make sure appropriately diverse and relevant inputs, forecasts, and alternatives are considered in the analysis, decision making and planning processes, that plans are appropriately communicated and that when actions are taken, appropriate feedback occurs and after action reviews take place to improve the foresight process.
[11] Strategic foresight can be practiced at multiple levels, including: "To manage ones expectations according to what is most predictable,act within reason, time is the measure of the function of all things that can be considered equally as important."
