Logicalis Europe Becomes Corporate User of Unlocking Foresight Know How
May 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Logicalis Europe announces that it has become a corporate member of Unlocking Foresight Know How (UFKH), a new global initiative designed to
unlock the potential of strategic foresight for the benefit of business, government,
third-sector, and society at large.
The initiative is devoted to building a strong and committed community between
foresight practitioners, academics, and business leaders. Unlocking Foresight Know
How (UFKH) will become one of the world’s first dedicated online resources
exclusively focused on bringing together foresight knowledge, materials, experts and
research.
Patricia Lustig, Managing Director, UFKH said, “Business leaders are now starting
to understand the critical need to engage in strategic foresight. They understand
the global business, economic, security, geopolitical, technology, and environmental
landscape is under constant flux, and running their organisations to an unwavering
fixed, single view of the future presents increasing risk. Strategic foresight uses
anticipatory thinking to develop a range of potential futures and allows any
organisation to envisage how major changes may affect them over the longer-term.
But there is a missing link. As a growing number of leaders understand the
criticality of this discipline, most have no experience, no advocate in their
organisation, and nowhere to turn to help them start the process of strategic
foresight. UFKH is designed to bridge that gap – it will provide vetted research
and knowledge, practical tools and methodologies, case history examples and expert guidance when navigating the hub for specific materials or research. We know how
valuable strategic foresight is and we want to make it accessible to everyone. I am
excited to have Logicalis Europe on-board as our first corporate member, and
delighted that Chris Gabriel their CDO in Europe will be joining our advisory
board.”
