Foresight is the established transdisciplinary methodology for creating sustainable long-range plans in an inclusive manner. Foresight seeks, first to establish the mental models of the key role players within the organization, and then explore the internal and transactional environment using various scanning tools and methodologies. This assessment provides an overview of the internal climate not only within the organization but also within the minds of the different players in the organization.
