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.
