Center for Foresight & Governance :
This is the first Centre established in India to spread Foresight awareness and application in businesses, governments and academia, and building capacity for transforming them into effective, agile, future-driven organizations. Application of Foresight techniques and disruptive technologies will lead to exponential growth of businesses, citizen-centric delivery by governments, and technology-based mindful teaching by academia for nurturing excellence of thought.
Foresight is an evidence/ data-driven tool/ methodology, which uses AI/ Big Data to develop possible, plausible, probable alternate future scenarios, and offers options to policy/ decision-makers to decide the “ preferred future” of their choice”. Our foresight experts guide clients towards their preferred future, and develop strategies to make that scenario occur in reality, using backcasting ( coming back from the future), emerging technologies and Agile methodologies. A World Economic Forum report ( August, 2020) has named Future Literacy, Systems Thinking, Anticipation and Strategic Foresight, as the most important 4 skills required for the future world.
The historic Vision India@2047 announced by Prime Minister Modi on 15th August , 2022 is a visionary initiative for making India a “ future-ready” country, to become one of world’s top three economies by 2047. Centre for Foresight has developed, and is actively working with, a powerful framework to assist governments, corporates & institutions in contributing effectively towards this transformational initiative. This calls for all governmental departments/ agencies, corporates & institutions to have a clear Vision of the world of 2047, with deep insights into the drivers of change ( including exponential technologies), develop/ execute impactful individual strategies, and partner together to actualize this holistic vision.
