Setting up a foresight programme in a government department
When Dr. Yousif Rashid Matar Al Zaabi decided to set up a foresight function for his government department, he wanted to invite external stakeholders also to take part. But how to get them interested, and how to coordinate such a large-scale group effort? The answer was Futures Platform, in which the healthcare professionals of the entire emirate of Abu Dhabi joined forces to work on foresight and build a vision of the future.
Visualising Trends with Futures Platform
Business Finland (The Finnish Funding Agency for Innovation) and Team Finland support Finnish companies in their efforts to create innovative and future-proof products and services. Futures Platform helps them provide an organised view of the future in a variety of industries and geographical areas. The key benefit that Futures Platform brings is the structure: trends are grouped into clusters and placed on a timeline, which paves the way to informed decision-making.
”The biggest benefit of using Futures Platform has been allowing the decision-makers to see the ideas that they haven't thought of yet.”
