“Foresight is all about acknowledging and addressing uncertainty to make better decisions.” (António Alvarenga) This is a path for those to whom foresight means anticipation, not a prediction; scenarios, not unidimensional views of the future; mutatis mutandis, not ceteris paribus; innovation, not business-as-usual.
