31 Integrated Foresight

Integrated Foresight is the process of using data from all of an organization’s activities, combined with disciplined processes, to create a dynamic map of future possibilities. 

This map helps organizations predict likely future outcomes based on current efforts. The leading companies keep an updated map that reflects the best understanding of future results, relying on constantly updated consistent, high-quality data to maintain the most reliable map of where they are heading.

In simple terms, Integrated Foresight answers the question, “If we did everything we’re currently working on, who would we be?”.

Every decision and assessment made within the organization contributes to improving corporate knowledge and shared understanding of collective progress towards future outcomes. Its a picture that becomes clearer every day as projects develop, and responds constantly to changes in learning and risks from the outside world.

The visibility that comes from real time Integrated Foresight enables an organization to adapt its plans and align its execution, to value new ideas, to progress in uncertainty, and to respond to volatility.
