Strategic foresight and futures thinking provide creative yet structured ways to think about and plan for
the future. They include identifying what is driving change and the implications that those “drivers” have
on the decisions we make today. They also lean into taking a wide view and identifying what is emerging as

The Pacific Pathfinder provides Pacific planners, strategists and policy makers with a practical guide and
toolkit, which includes examples of how strategic foresight is being used in our region.
