The world is changing. Fast. You need to make decisions in the face of uncertainty. But you can no longer depend on looking to the past to make decisions about the future.  

Understanding what a range of possible futures means for your organisation will enable you to become more future aware, innovative and able to react more rapidly to unexpected change.

SAMI’s participative approach will build your team’s foresight capability and help you develop strategies and policies that will stand the test of time.
