1 The use of Foresight around the globe an overview and more EFP Rafael Popper PREST - Manchester Institute of Innovation Research EFMN
2 Introductory remarks In both futures and foresight literatures there have been plenty of discussions about processes, generations, challenges, classifications and various styles of forward-looking practices and methods. (See De Jouvenel, 1967; Boucher, 1977; Coates, 1985; Jungk and Müllert, 1987; Cameron et al., 1996; Bell, 1997; Glenn and Gordon, 1999; Godet, 2000, 2001; Georghiou, 2001; Masini, 2001; Miles, 2002, 2008; Cuhls, 2003; Voros, 2003, 2005; Kaivo-oja et al., 2004; Bishop et al., 2007; Barré, 2008; Popper 2008; Johnston and Sripaipan, 2008; Keenan and Miles, 2008; and Georghiou et al., 2008). Even though these and many other contributions provide a huge knowledge base of definitions, frameworks and experiences using a wide range of real and occasionally hypothetical examples, up until now there has not been a systematic and organised effort comparing foresight styles in six world regions or exploring how are foresight methods selected using large number of case studies (886 cases).
3 Foresight for whom?
4 For us? (~5 to 20 years) or for the next generation? (~20 to 30 years) or for future generations? (30 years+)
5 What is foresight?
6 What is foresight? Broadly speaking Foresight is not about forecasting by experts Foresight is more about sharing a vision and/or a set of objectives (for our children s future?) promoting trandisciplinarity research engaging key stakeholders, including decision- and policy-makers Prospective & Futures Foresight drawing upon and creating knowledge networks extending the breadth and depth of the knowledge base for decision-making organising a long term thinking process Policy-making & Planning Participation & Networking

9 foresight around the globe
10 EFMN 2010 EFP Foresight around the globe So far, EFMN Mapping has produced a vast amount of information on foresight unprecedented in the world The mapping has been useful to understand foresight practices in Europe and other regions of the world 100 cases 437 cases > 800 L0 & L1 767 cases > 1400 L0 & L1 846 cases > 1600 L0 & L1 > 1000 cases > 2000 L0&L
11 mapping foresight International Europe Latin America North America Asia Oceania Levels 0&1 Levels 2&3
12 mapping sponsors 2010 mapping government agencies and departments (or simply government ) are the main sponsors of foresight in all regions, although we can see a few differences. For example, government sponsorship is present in nearly all European and Latin American cases mapped, but is to some extent less dominant in North America, Asia and Oceania.
13 mapping mapping target audiences Broadly speaking, there is no great variation, government agencies and departments are the main target groups, regardless of the region. The most remarkable results are the relatively large numbers of research and business community targets far more than there are sponsors. This basically indicates that public administrations often sponsor studies targeted at these other groups. But also governments are among target groups more often than they are among sponsors, suggesting that other sponsors could be using foresight exercises to shape public policy agendas.
14 mapping mapping time horizons Most exercises are looking 10 to 20 years ahead into the future. With the majority of mapped exercises being initiated in the late 1990s or early 2000s, our analyses are focusing on early 21st Century foresight practices. The figure also shows that Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania have a more strategic attitude towards the far future (e.g. 30, 50, 100 years ahead).
15 mapping mapping territorial scale For all world regions, the national level is by far the most important. As policy-making is still predominantly carried out at this level, this result should come as little surprise. The remaining foresight initiatives are more or less equally distributed over the other territorial scales, although there are some significant differences between regions. Sub-national exercises are found most frequently in Europe possibly reflecting long-term trends of regionalisation in many European countries closely followed by Latin America.
16 mapping methods 2010 mapping The results indicate that some methods are very widely used across the world; such is the case for: expert panels, literature review, scenarios trend extrapolation.
17 mapping outputs 2010 mapping The results shows the popularity of some common codified outputs.
18 mapping socio-economic sectors 2010 mapping

21 And, how do we analyse foresight processes?
22 How are foresight methods selected? First argument methods are chosen based on their intrinsic attributes their nature Qualitative Quantitative Semi-quantitative their capabilities, i.e. the ability to gather or process information based on: Evidence Expertise Interaction Creativity Second argument methods are chosen based on fundamental elements and conditions influencing the foresight process; in other words, foresight process needs matter. See Popper (2008), How are foresight methods selected?, Foresight, Volume 10, 2008, issue 6
23 Two questions related to the intrinsic attributes of methods: 1. 1 How is selection influenced by the nature of methods? 2. 2 How is selection influenced by the capabilities of methods? Nine questions related to the elements of foresight processes: 3. 3 How is selection influenced by the Geo-R&D context? 4. 4 How is selection influenced by the Domain coverage? 5. 5 How is selection influenced by the Territorial scale? 6. 6 How is selection influenced by the Time horizon? 7. 7 How is selection influenced by the Sponsorship? 8. 8 How is selection influenced by the Target groups? 9. 9 How is selection influenced by the Participation scale? 10.How is selection influenced by the Codified outputs? 11.How is selection influenced by the Methods Mix?
24 Classifying methods by their nature Qualitative Methods providing meaning to events and perceptions.

27 How is selection influenced by their capabilities? 2 (Even if unintentionally!) high influence Popper (2008) If you take into account that, on average, foresight studies use from 5 to 6 methods
28 Two questions related to the attributes of methods: 1. 1 How is selection influenced by the nature of methods? 2. 2 How is selection influenced by the capabilities of methods? Nine questions related to the elements of foresight processes: 3. 3 How is selection influenced by the Geo-R&D context? 4. 4 How is selection influenced by the Domain coverage? 5. 5 How is selection influenced by the Territorial scale? 6. 6 How is selection influenced by the Time horizon? 7. 7 How is selection influenced by the Sponsorship? 8. 8 How is selection influenced by the Target groups? 9. 9 How is selection influenced by the Participation scale? 10.How is selection influenced by the Codified outputs? 11.How is selection influenced by the Methods Mix?
29 How is selection influenced by key elements of the Process? Pre-Foresight Recruitment Generation Action Renewal Fundamental Elements of a Foresight Process 11 methods mix 3 geo-r&d context 8 target groups 10 codified outputs domain coverage territorial scale time horizon sponsorship ASPIRATION 9 participation scale ENGAGEMENT & INTERACTION participative & networking approaches KNOWLEDGE & SHARED VISION prospective approaches COMMITMENT & TRANSFORMATION planning & decision-making approaches INTELLIGENCE & WISDOM evaluative approaches Step 5: learning Step 4: shaping the future through strategic planning Step 3: generating (new) knowledge through the exploration, analysis and anticipation of possible futures Step 2: mobilising and engaging key players Step 1: scoping the objectives and activities of the exercise
30 How is selection influenced by the Geo-R&D Context? high influence 3 Popper (2008) Methods that rely on the availability of knowledge about emerging or cutting-edge technologies are more often used in high-r&d intensity countries. E.g.: roadmapping (in North America) modelling (in high-r&d Asia)
31 How is selection influenced by the Time horizon? moderate influence 6 For example: For more than 50 years: Technology roadmapping Modelling and simulation Backcasting Gaming Also interesting Popper (2008) <10 years +15 years +20 years +30 years +50 years Scanning: its use increases as the time horizon gets longer Delphi: its use decreases as the time horizon gets longer SWOT: No cases with >30 years Bibliometrics: No cases with >20 years
32 How is selection influenced by the Participation scale? moderate influence 9 Main findings include: Popper (2008) in cases involving between 50 and 500 people relatively higher use of expert panels scanning stakeholder analysis in projects with participation levels above 200 people much higher use of scenarios brainstorming SWOT Delphi in very large scale projects lower use of interviews larger use of Delphi
33 How is selection influenced by the Codified Outputs? high influence 10 For example: Popper (2008) For the analysis of trends and drivers: Trend extrapolation For the identification of research and other priorities: Expert panels For the generation of lists of key technologies: Expert panels Delphi For forecasts: Trend extrapolation Modelling and simulation For technology roadmaps: Future workshops Key technologies
34 How is selection influenced by the Methods Mix? 11 very high influence Frequency of combinations Popper (2008) L (or blank) = below 19% M = 20-39% H = 40-59% VH = above 60%
35 Let us visualise the Methods Mix Frequency of combinations Popper (2008) L (or blank) = below 19% M = 20-39% H = 40-59% VH = above 60% Popper (2008)
36 Mapping methods used with Roadmapping Frequency of combinations Popper (2008) L (or blank) = below 19% M = 20-39% H = 40-59% VH = above 60% Popper (2008) Popper (2008)
37 Now, imagine you want to use scenarios What other methods would you use?
38 2010 Mapping methods used with Scenarios What do we know from 886 case studies?
39 How to design a foresight methodology?
40 The Foresight Diamond Let us explore 2 demo cases with 6 methods (2008)
41 Methodology X (Forward) Scanning Delphi 2010 Methodology X (Forward) Wild cards SWOT Evidence + Broad Expertise + Wild Creativity + Interaction + Local Expertise + Strategic Creativity Wild Cards Expert Panel Delphi Citizen Panel Citizen panel Expert panel Scanning SWOT

43 How to combine methods to produce visions beyond business as usual? 5 lessons for better information/data gathering in foresight
44 First: Consider less frequently used methods
45 First: Consider less frequently used methods We could legitimately ask ourselves if the reason why we were unable to have better foresight capable of, at least, considering the possibility of experiencing turbulent moments in, for example, the financial or the real estate sectors, could be credited to the apparent Euro-reluctance to: experiment with the wide-ranging virtues of gaming or modelling and simulation, undertake time-consuming, but certainly more systematic, multicriteria or cross-impact analyses, identify through citizens panels important socio-economic issues (including weak signals) showing, for example, the unsustainability of mortgage lenders conditions; promote, especially in highly specialised S&T projects, the involvement of domain expertise based on, for example, the number of citations or publications shown by bibliometrics; exploit the, often controversial, but sometimes enlightening stakeholders mapping; widen understanding of issues and problems by using relevance trees; build hierarchical solution pathways to these problems with the help of morphological analysis; walk our way back from a roughly defined future via backcasting; or thoroughly walk our way forward from the present into a well-defined future through technology roadmapping. Source: Popper (2009)
46 Second: Try to improve prospective analysis
47 Second: Try to improve prospective analysis By using more and improved Scanning (with better use of web-based tools) advanced data and text mining tools to analyse documents; statistical aids for network/cluster analysis and visualisation structures; co-word and co-citation methods (for instance, to provide guidance as to new clusters of ideas in scientific areas). wiki-scan tools (more on this later ) Modelling (using econometric analysis and system dynamics). Computer tools are employed to create and visualise a large set of scenarios, drawing on different assumptions about how the world Roadmapping (with more sophisticated computer aids to organise and visualise the process and its results) Expert opinion tools such as Delphi drawing upon computers and networking, e.g. web-based questionnaire surveys and more discursive approaches. Expert systems to guide practitioners and managers through the process of carrying out foresight from decision support for managing the foresight process, to aids for application of specific techniques.
48 Third: Consider surprising and emerging issues (Wild Cards & Weak Signals)
49 What if? Abrupt ocean acidification Fish stock crisis Many rivers start running dry all year long When the Lights Go Off Major EU country elects neo fascist leader Pay as you pollute Collapse of the Euro Monetary System Transhumanism becomes a significant force Nano Cheats Gaining a micro advantage To be or not to be seen/invisibility spray available (in Boots) Nano enabled self diagnosis and self treatment become pervasive - Doc in a box Nano War The beginning of the end Source: iknow see
50 Fourth: Recognise the power of interdisciplinarity
51 Recognising key sub-areas Using the Mapping Foresight (2009) report to show what we know about information/data gathering in foresight In a way, research in Social Sciences is the binder of all research topics in the foresight exercises. This is quite the opposite with research within Humanities, which have the least salient links to other research topics in the exercise.

52 Fifth: Remember how are foresight methods selected
53 Fifth: Remember how are foresight methods selected Foresight methods are selected in a (not always coherent or systematic) multi-factor process. So far this process has been dominated by the intuition, insight, impulsiveness and sometimes inexperience or irresponsibility of practitioners and organisers. Two factors with very high influence: Intrinsic nature Methods Mix Three factors with High influence: Capability to gather and process knowledge Geo-R&D context Codified outputs Some factors with Moderate influence: Participation scale Time horizon see other factors in figure below Popper (2008)
