You are most welcome to join us on September 10th from 5 pm to 6.30 pm for a session on foresight impact assessment. The event will be hosted online.
What can be expected from this session?
Strategic foresight is acknowledged as a crucial element for navigating the complexities of rapidly evolving business environments. Although its value has been widely studied, relatively little is known about how organizations currently assess their foresight efforts—or do they?
This session is based mainly on a research study conducted by Viivi Koivuniemi. The study collected the experiences and views of global foresight leaders, and this session discusses the topic in light of the study results.
This session aims to:
Introduce and explore the concept of impact in the context of strategic foresight
Shed light on the potential benefits and challenges of strategic foresight assessment
Increase the understanding of how strategic foresight work and its impact is currently assessed in global firms
The event will be held online and mainly in English. Please note that no event recording will be available after the event. You can attend the event as a member of Futures Finland. All members should have received an invitation by email. If you are not yet a member of Futures Finland, you can register here.
