The Centre for Strategic and Policy Studies (CSPS) yesterday began the first workshop of the Executive Development Workshop Series in Strategic Foresight and Strategic Planning.

The series consists of three workshops which runs from November 2016 to March 2017: Strategic Foresight and Horizon Scanning, Strategic Planning Using Systems Thinking and Action Learning and Evaluation.
The first workshop introduces participants to the tools and methodologies of strategic foresight and is designed to lay the foundations for strategic foresight perspectives and approaches that support policymaking and strategic planning to create wiser futures.

Participants draw from their experiences and visions of their organisations to test out scenarios using future methods such as black swans, wildcards, disruptors and used futures.

The tools from the workshop are applied to create preferred futures for organisations, which form the basis for the second workshop in strategic planning.

Twenty-seven participants are attending the workshop, made up of middle to senior level officers drawn from the government and private sectors, including the Ministry of Home Affairs, Management Services Department, Civil Service Institute, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Development, MOC Sdn Bhd and SprintVille Technologies.

The workshop is facilitated by international and local experts in Strategic Foresight, Horizon Scanning and Strategic Planning: Professor Sohail Inayatullah, UNESCO Chair in Future Studies; Dr Jose Ramos, Action Foresight, Australia; Stephen Lin, Haines Centre for Strategic Management, Singapore; Dr Ivana Milojevic, Metafuture Australia and CSPS; Dr Diana Cheong, Dr Sophiana Chua Abdullah and Yuzilawati Abdullah from CSPS.
