Future Shaping and Making It by Ahmed Hindawy, Saleh Al Hamory, and Rola Maaytah - Part 2

Foresight expert and consultant Suleiman Al Kaabi defines “foresight” as a structured, participatory, multidisciplinary approach to explore the driving force of change and future alternatives that range between the medium and long term. Foresight includes drawing a proactive approach and adopting different scenarios that can be transformed into reality by taking decisions at the present time. It is worth noting that future foresight does not aim to fix or reduce the mistakes of the past, but rather focuses intensely on building the future which we aspire. Foresight is distinguished from other studies of the future by four basic characteristics, first: Foresight is action-oriented, as analytical studies that cannot be transformed into actions or cannot be linked to actions cannot be considered as a part of the foresight, as foresight focuses on acts and actions that can be applied and which in turn will shape the future more effectively. Secondly, it is open towards the alternative future, as this science is based on the fact that the future is not inevitable, and therefore the future can develop in different directions, and it is our current decisions that will have the largest role in reaching the desired future. Third: Foresight is described as participatory, as it must be done by a large group of experts and academics, which allows obtaining a better feedback, and finally: foresight is multidisciplinary, as the different challenges and problems that we usually face need experts in different fields so that it can be understood and therefore, we can reach the ideal solution.
