About Strategic Foresight in Practice

Strategic Foresight in Practice exists to make Strategic Foresight more practical and usable — a one-day, cross-sector experience that moves participants from understanding foresight, to seeing how it is used, to applying it themselves.

Why foresight matters

Organisations make decisions today whose consequences unfold in a future no one can predict. Strategic Foresight offers structured ways to notice emerging change, question assumptions and explore several plausible futures instead of betting on one.

Why practical application matters

Foresight creates value when it changes a decision. This event is built around methods, tools and cases participants can use in their own strategy, innovation, technology or policy work shortly afterwards.

Why cross-sector learning matters

Business, technology, research and policy each face uncertainty differently. Putting these perspectives in one small room surfaces approaches that rarely travel between sectors.

Why Brussels

Brussels sits at the intersection of business, European policy, technology, research and societal transformation — an ideal environment for a cross-sector conversation about decisions under uncertainty.

Strategic Vision & Foresight Lab

Strategic Vision & Foresight Lab (SVFL) explores how individuals and organisations can become better at anticipating change, navigating uncertainty and making future-oriented decisions.

SVFL works at the intersection of Strategic Foresight, strategy, innovation and decision-making, translating future-oriented thinking into practical tools, learning experiences and organisational applications.
