AFI Monograph 7 - Foresight Practice in Australia |
|
Written by JM Ramos
|
|
This monograph, Foresight Practice in Australia: A Meta-Scan of Practitioners and Organisations reports on a "meta-scan" of foresight practitioners and organisations in the Australian context. The development of foresight practice in Australia has been gathering momentum over the past twenty years. This critical review of Australian foresight professionals analyses the social interests, methodologies, epistemological focal domains, capacitating foci, geographic locations and organisational types that characterise the practice of foresight in Australia. This deeper understanding of how foresight is practiced is seen as a necessary first step in the development of a National Foresight Strategy for Australia.
