Strategic foresight empowers libraries to move beyond traditional strategic planning by anticipating future trends, uncertainties, and opportunities. This program explores how libraries—academic, public, and school—can integrate foresight tools and techniques, such as scenario planning, horizon scanning, and backcasting, to develop innovative and sustainable strategic plans. Participants will learn how to identify emerging trends, assess potential disruptions, and create adaptive strategies that align with community needs and institutional goals. By applying strategic foresight, libraries can proactively navigate rapid technological advancements, evolving user expectations, and shifting educational landscapes. This approach ensures that strategic plans are not only responsive but also resilient, enabling libraries to become future-ready institutions that drive long-term impact.
