TL;DR: A generic foresight process framework is outlined in this article, based on prior independent work by Mintzberg, Horton and Slaughter, which recognises several distinct phases, leading from the initial gathering of information, through to the production of outputs intended as input into the more familiar activities of strategy development and strategic planning.

TL;DR: An analytical tool (cross‐level analysis) is presented for examining views of the world in terms of both the perceptual filters of the viewer and the aspect of theworld being viewed, a technique which is also useful for analysing how other scanners do their scanning.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduce an integrated model representing the variety of relationships that exist amongst a range of validity concepts that will assist methodological practice and increased rigor in future studies.

TL;DR: The authors sketches the broad outlines of the philosophical and methodological foundations of an emerging approach to inquiry called integral inquiry and how this form of inquiry may be applied to futures studies, leading to an approach which has come to be called integral futures.

TL;DR: The nature and type of methods used in futures studies and foresight work which are explicitly concerned with creating “forward views” and/or “images of the future” (“prospective” methods”) are examined.
