1. Framework Name: Provide a name for the strategic foresight framework.

2. Framework Overview: Give a high-level summary of the framework and its key components.

3. Trend Scanning Methodology:
   ● Outline horizon scanning techniques used to identify emerging trends.
   ● Describe the signal processing approach for filtering and prioritizing trend signals.
   ● List key information sources to be monitored for trend scanning.

4. Trend Analysis Process:
   ● Define criteria for prioritizing and selecting trends for further analysis.
   ● Explain the impact assessment model used to evaluate trend significance.
   ● Describe the approach for evaluating trend uncertainties and potential outcomes.

5. Strategic Action Planning:
   ● Outline the process for developing scenarios based on identified trends.
   ● Describe techniques for generating strategic options to capitalize on trends.
   ● Explain how to create strategic roadmaps to guide trend-driven actions.

   ● Describe how to integrate the framework into existing planning processes.
   ● Identify organizational capabilities required to execute the framework.
   ● Define success metrics and learning loops for continuous improvement.

7. Key Sources: Cite the top 3 sources used in crafting the framework.

#TASK CRITERIA:
● Focus on creating a comprehensive, end-to-end framework that covers trend scanning, analysis, and strategic action.
● Incorporate best practices from multiple relevant disciplines such as futures studies and scenario planning.
● Provide sufficient detail in each section to guide practical implementation of the framework.
● Cite credible and authoritative sources to lend weight to the framework design.
● Avoid getting bogged down in academic jargon or highly theoretical concepts.
