Why Horizon Scanning Matters Now

With AI disruption, geopolitical realignment, and climate acceleration converging, organizations need better tools for anticipating change. This workshop prepares you for uncertainty by teaching systematic approaches to identify, analyse, and act on early signals of change.

Your Workshop Leaders

Led by Changeist, a strategic foresight consultancy that has built scanning and sensing systems for international organizations, NGOs, Fortune 500 companies, and governments for over 20 years.

Workshop Elements

  • Signal and trend collection fundamentals and strategic relevance
  • Source strategy: digital, qualitative, and observational research
  • Live scanning practice with evaluation techniques
  • Wrangling AI and LLMs: maximizing benefits while managing risks
  • Sensemaking: clustering signals and identifying convergences
  • Building sustainable scanning practices that scale with the organization

What Past Participants Have Gained

For teams, the workshop has provided a framework to design and launch new scanning processes from scratch. For organizations with mixed experience levels, it serves as practical upskilling — getting everyone working from the same playbook. For individual practitioners in fields like innovation, development, and experience design, it has helped build structured prospective capacity into their existing work.

Specifically, you will:

  • Design a scanning approach tailored to your context and resources
  • Distinguish meaningful patterns from noise and hype
  • Translate early signals into concrete strategic options
  • Integrate AI tools effectively while maintaining critical judgment
  • Leave with a sustainable practice you can maintain beyond the workshop
