Great course. Thank you. I genuinely enjoyed this course. While I was familiar with scenario cross examples, I didn't really know how to confidently build scenarios, but the cross-impact analysis bridged that gap in my understanding from previous EMBA studies and readings of Wack and Schwartz. Similarly, the uncertainty/impact matrix was familiar from my risk and portfolio management practice, but the course helped to link them together and made a lot more sense. I'm chairing a strategy process for an NFP, and while we’ve been looking at three horizons and considering futures, I was looking for tools to help us consider/discuss/clarify different futures in a more structured way, so this was particularly timely. As a direct result of the course, I feel more confident to practically approach and build scenarios to consider futures and strategic questions, for example to frame and prompt a conversation to explore futures for AI and our sector. I have already recommended it to colleagues and would recommend this course to others in strategic management interested in applying themselves to futures thinking.

This course is a great start to get to know more about the world of strategic foresight, learning from experienced professors in the field. I like the teaching methods used throughout the MOOC, and the examples and cases from foresight practice in the private and public sector. Highly recommended!

The course is well presented with very good practical examples. The quizzes are also quite strategically placed to help digest the material. In general it's a very comprehensive course and a great addition to anyone who is in in the field of business strategy. Thoroughly enjoyed the course!

The course is insightful and extremely useful to better understand the role of foresight and its applications for an organization and on a personal level. It incorporates various interactive elements, such as group discussions, case studies, and practical exercises.

Great course to take a truly systemic and out-of-the-box view on one’s strategy . a mastechief masterclass !

I recently had the opportunity to take the "Building Strategic Foresight Capabilities" course on Coursera, and I must say it was an exceptional learning experience.

My congratulations to authors of the course and lecturers.

The course is constructed in a very logical way with a good balance between lectures, text materials, theories and practical cases.

This course is a great way to understand what foresight is and why it is important to cultivate foresight related capabilities. It introduces some essential theoretical and practical frameworks that can be made use of to identify and analyse trends and opportunities and also to develop relevant implications. There is also a very interesting case discussed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn about foresight strategy!

This useful course takes you through the foresight cycle providing both the theoretical lens as well as practical examples and material to plan your own foresight work. The course is interactive with a good balance of short lectures, videos and reading material. An extra bonus is helping the learners to apply foresight to their personal life. All in all a course both interesting and fun, yet well grounded in theory of futures.

I found the course to be incredibly insightful and valuable in developing my strategic foresight skills. It provided me with the necessary knowledge, and confidence to anticipate and shape the future in both organizational and personal contexts. Few specific points that I found particularly noteworthy:

1. Comprehensive coverage of future preparedness

2. Practical tools, techniques, and case studies

3. Engaging instruction

This course is perfect for beginners in strategic foresight. It covers all the logic of how to conduct a strategic foresight analysis, while presenting all the main tools used in the process. It is a very in deep course, filled with examples and introspective exercises, that get you thinking not only about the future of your company, but also yourself and the role you want to play in the future. I highly recommend !

Excellent course to take you by the hand and teach you step by step about strategic foresight. The content brings all the central elements for understanding and building knowledge about signals, scenarios, and strategy, with examples and exercises that allow you to interact and create a learning dynamic. You can really become a foresighter doing this course!

The course was very interesting and unique. It gave structure, frameworks, and methodology to combine both intuition and logic to make good predictions about scenarios. I was about to understand the relevance and importance of foresight for both my professional and personal life and feel equipped to make better and more informed decisions.

A very interesting course that doesn't stop at simply defining foresight concepts, but also offers real-case examples. A well-structured course overall, and the addition of intermediate tests is a plus for learning. I'd recommend this course for anyone who wants to understand future strategic issues and make an impact.

I extremely appreciated this course! A genuine eye-opener on foresight and strategic decision making practices. I realized how paramount it is for any organization to acknowledge plausible futures in order to best be prepared to disruptive changes and achieve competitive advantage over their competitors.

I think this course is good. It has rich content and is progressively structured, making it relatively easy to understand and absorb. It also includes tests for reviewing and solidifying what we've learned. Furthermore, it provides some open-ended questions to help us expand our thinking while studying.

Extremely insightful course introducing me into the world of Foresight. Understanding various models and techniques that can be utilised has opened my eyes to a sea of opportunities in Strategy. Lovely explanations by all faculty members involved, highly recommended course!

The course has been very insightful and has given me a different perspective to look at things. Also, I loved the fact that there are various discussion forums where you can connect with like minded people all over the world. I would highly recommend taking the course.

The learning process was pleasant and interesting, thanks to the diversity of the materials offered (videos, articles, research, etc.). The subjects covered were very well explained, and the use of examples and schemas made it easy to assimilate the information.

This course gave me great insight about strategic foresight. The well-structured course is dynamic and the variation of lecturers was something I appriciated. This course is a must for everyone who is curious about foresight, leadership and design thinking!

This is a fantastic introduction to strategic foresight. René and his colleagues have done an an exceptional job at simplifying foresight and translating what is often referred to as a ‘dark art’ into something anyone can learn and use. Great Job team!

The course was very insightful. The content was nicely curated, providing a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practices of foresight innovation.

I thank all the instructors for this impactful course.

Excellent course to learn about foresight and tools that can be applied to businesses and future challenges, I particularly liked personal examples from the professors to better clarify and strengthen the concepts
