Corporate foresight: methods and instruments

Strategic foresight is particularly important in fast-moving industries and in times of rapid change, as it helps companies to adapt flexibly and be successful in the long term.

Foresight encompasses a variety of methods and techniques that are used to analyze future developments, trends and scenarios.

Trend analysis: This method uses historical data and current information to identify and analyze existing trends in various areas. This can form the basis for future predictions and strategies.
Scenario analyses create various future scenarios based on different assumptions. These scenarios help organizations to prepare for a variety of possible developments and to develop strategies for coping with different future paths.
Roadmapping is a method for developing long-term plans and strategies to achieve a specific goal. It includes the identification of milestones, timelines and resources for implementation.
Backcasting: In contrast to forward projection (forecasting), backcasting starts with a desired future goal and works backwards to determine which steps and measures are required to achieve this goal.

The choice of the most appropriate method or technique depends on the individual goals, resources and context of a company or organization.

Scenario planning uses scenario analysis to develop plans and strategies for different possible future scenarios. This helps organizations to prepare for different challenges and opportunities.
Wild cards and signals from the future: This method involves looking for unexpected events or signs in the present that could indicate future developments. These wild cards can influence the development of scenarios.
Technology roadmapping: This method focuses specifically on the development and introduction of technologies. It helps organizations to understand the progress and impact of technologies on their industry and business environment.
Horizon scanning: This involves continuously recording and analyzing signals and trends in a company's external environment in order to identify potential risks and opportunities at an early stage.
Crowdsourcing and open foresight: These methods involve the involvement of a broad community of experts, employees or the public in order to collect and evaluate ideas and insights about the future.
