Strategic Foresight
We know the future holds unprecedented challenges for the IFRC network and the communities we support…
…
Our organisation is transforming its operations to respond to these complex demands but we will still face sudden shocks and unexpected crises.
Strategic foresight helps us face uncertainty and emerging risks by uncovering new evidence and identifying new opportunities for action.
By supporting our partners as they embed foresight skills and create anticipatory governance models, we drive innovation and strengthen transformation.
The Solferino Academy foresight team helps humanitarians and communities anticipate, adapt and innovate as we navigate deeply uncertain times.
