Where Foresight and Immersion Meet

From Vision to Action
From AI breakthroughs to shifting geopolitical landscapes,the pace of change shows no signs of slowing. Leaders across industries are finding that traditional strategic planning is no longer enough.  

The critical question they must now grapple with is this: How can we make better decisions today for futures we cannot yet predict?  

Those who can cultivate a future-forward mindset will be theones to shape what comes next. This is where foresight becomes not just useful,but essential. And more than that, it needs to be practised – not in isolation,but through dynamic, shared moments in learning.  

In this conversation between Amy Nemes (an expert facilitator from WDHB, a global pioneer in immersive learning) and Lasse Jonasson (Chief Foresight Officer at the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies), unpack why foresight matters now more than ever – and how structured reflection, a learner’s mindset, and the discipline of foresight can unlock stronger, more adaptive leadership.
