Abstract

In the current environment of high levels of uncertainty, volatility, rapid change, interdependence and hyperconnectivity, traditional planning approaches are insufficient, and futures domain is emerging as a growing discipline to support governments and policymakers in building a more desirable future. This notebook brings together six international best practices in the integration of foresight in governments, and proposes a framework for reflection for those public institutions that want to implement and mainstream this transdisciplinary approach in their apparatus.
