Highlights

  • Policymakers can create more effective and purpose-driven policies by systematically reflecting on future policy scenarios, implications and outcomes in collaboration with stakeholders. This involves building in-depth understanding and awareness of how grand challenges and societal problems may evolve in the future.
  • The “3XKnowledge” roadmap introduced here provides a three-step guide to foresight exercises. It represents a flexible toolkit to structure thinking around future-oriented policy. The steps are as follows: 1. A guide to stakeholders’ ecosystem mapping & A systemic overview of the ecosystem and possible synergies to enhance policy effectiveness. 2. Good practice in stakeholders’ dialogues. 3. A “balance” and “bias” checklist for policy development.
