Turn foresight into action with practical tools for strategic decision-making in uncertainty

In a world where the future arrives faster than planning cycles, leaders face a critical 'Decision Gap' between knowing what might happen and making confident choices today. From Foresight to Action by Joana Lenkova solves this problem by transforming futures intelligence into concrete strategic action.

From Foresight to Action provides five Strategic Future Labs that function as flight simulators for decision-making under uncertainty. Each Lab addresses critical strategic questions through plausible scenarios, dilemmas, and practical tools. Readers will build a complete Futures Strategy Canvas and learn to embed futures thinking into organisational processes.

In the book, you'll find:

* Five standalone Strategic Future Labs with practical tools including Future Personas, Product Horizon Mapping, Futures Wheels, Wind Tunnelling, and Futures Capability Matrix

* A complete outside-in strategy model connecting future customers to products, opportunities, strategies, and organisational capabilities

* Actionable checklists and 'Next moves' guidance applicable immediately to your own strategic challenges

* Frameworks for understanding decision patterns, cognitive biases, and risk posture in strategic choices

* Practical methods for embedding foresight into culture, leadership, governance, and planning processes to build continuous strategic adaptation

Ideal for executives, managers, strategists, leaders, and decision-makers across organisations, From Foresight to Action transforms the way you approach strategy by treating the future as something you shape, not something that happens to you, providing the practical tools to make better decisions in an uncertain world.
