Strategy: The final part in this framework is that of strategy (or equivalently policy)
development, about which very little will be said here, given the earlier discussion
about the relationship between foresight, strategy and planning. Since foresight has
done its job, it now hands over the output for consideration by others in making
decisions and directing strategic actions for implementation (i.e. the more familiar
activities of strategy and policy development and strategic planning). Of course, the
results of the strategy or policy process need to be constantly feed back into the
inputs of the overall foresight framework. Another product of this research may be
the more systematic inclusion of futures thinking in strategic planning processes by
policy researchers and policy influential.
