To ensure future readiness and the effective use and application of foresight tools, governments and private organisations need to replace traditional planning with organisational re-engineering.<\/p>\n

That was the message delivered today by proGective President and CEO, Fabienne Goux-Baudiment during a keynote presentation on her new organisational concept, \u2018Governance X.O\u2019, which took place at the Government Foresight Summit, organised by Messe Frankfurt Middle with the UAE Ministry of Education as Supporting Partner.<\/p>\n

The summit which was hosted at Le M\u00e9ridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre, and concludes tomorrow, saw regional and international speakers and panellists discussing the most effective applications and tools to ensure future readiness.<\/p>\n

Goux-Baudiment, who also serves as adviser to the King of Morocco\u2019s Royal Institute for Strategic Studies, said: \u201cDisruptive public and private policies are among emerging organisational trends,\u201d while calling for the creation of foresight departments, which would be \u201cin phase with the aspirations of the population to avoid social unrest.\u201d<\/p>\n

The departments, Goux-Baudiment said, would anticipate breakthroughs and disruptions, allowing ample time for strategic plans to be drawn up and implemented proactively rather than reactively. Examples of these could include the impact of AI, genetic engineering and energy transition.<\/p>\n

They would also help employees \u201cdesign new, sustainable, efficient and more accurate solutions to current and future issues, including climate change adaptation, desertification, water scarcity, shortage of raw materials, ocean-related issues, pollution, lack of human and financial resources, adaptation to new business models and models of development and post-industrialisation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts also discussed how international organisations have helped change governments\u2019 mind-sets for the better, and how to identify and analyse signals of change to discover patterns of innovation and disruption.<\/p>\n

Cesar Moukarzel, Consulting Director at next-generation consulting firm SIA Partners, argued: \u201cGovernments have always existed to serve their citizens, residents and visitors. Emphasising foresight-based plans are in line with the mission of any government, and support sustainability to always provide services that exceed customers\u2019 expectations and improve people\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Christopher Cordey, CEO at Geneva-based foresight, strategy and capacity building advisory, Futuratinow, said: \u201cGoverning bodies should ensure their future relevance and usefulness in view of the acceleration of change. More than ever, governmental organisations should anticipate the potential technological, societal, environmental, political, economic breakthroughs and disruptions to ensure future readiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Government Foresight Summit will conclude tomorrow with a final day masterclass, which revolves around the future of human resources, careers and skills.<\/p>\n
