FORESIGHT UNIVERSITY: TWENTY SPECIALTY PRACTICES OF ADAPTIVE FORESIGHT

Foresight University: Twenty Specialty Practices of Adaptive Foresight




Twenty Specialty Practices of Adaptive Foresight

Based on an analysis of both management and foresight literature, we propose that Twenty Specialty Practices are especially important in helping modern teams and organizations to navigate the future. As each specialty listed below is actually a pair of particularly complementary specialties, it may be more accurate to call this a model of forty specialty practices, but we'll stick with Twenty Specialties for simplicity in the Guide. We will occasionally color these specialty practices gold to help you think of them as an interdependent group. To help you better see their value in context, we will fit these specialties into a departmental model of the firm in Chapter 3 (Career Options), and consider them as components of the Eight Skills in Chapter 5 (The Do Loop).

The Twenty Specialties, in alpha order, are:

Horizon, California Highway

Horizon, California Highway

  1. Accounting & Intangibles,
  2. Alternatives & Scenarios,
  3. Analysis & Decision Support,
  4. Auditing & Change Management,
  5. Benchmarking & Quality,
  6. Data Science & Machine Learning,
  7. Entrepreneurship & Intrapreneurship,
  8. Facilitation & Gaming,
  9. Forecasting & Prediction,
  10. Human Resources & Performance Management,
  11. Ideation & Design,
  12. Innovation & Research & Development,
  13. Intelligence & Knowledge Management,
  14. Investing & Finance,
  15. Law & Security,
  16. Learning & Development,
  17. Marketing & Sales,
  18. Management & Leadership,
  19. Risk Management & Insurance, and
  20. Vision/Goals/Strategy & Planning.
The Twenty Specialties is our best current model of the full scope of modern strategic foresight. Again, these are actually twenty pairs of specialties, each pair of which is closely related. How many of these practice specialties are you presently familiar with? How many do you use in your work, at least in some basic form? We could have chosen fewer specialties to introduce you to in this Guide, but to do so would be to lose sight of how diverse, effective, and necessary modern foresight practice has become.
