Real Time Strategy: When Strategic Foresight Meets Artificial Intelligence
In today's world, decision makers struggle to make good long-term decisions. There is simply too much volatility, too much complexity, too much fake news, and too little time to make sense of all the information that is at our fingertips. We are drowning in data, surrounded by uncertainty and thus live in a world that lacks clarity.
Moving away from the static thinking of many strategists, this book updates and upholds the importance of scenario design and thinking in the face of uncertainty. The authors investigate the journey of the art and science of scenario thinking, from its beginnings in the military to becoming a part of the mainstream strategy toolkit in the business world. Delving into the new frontiers of scenario thinking and planning, the book explores topics such Combining classical scenario thinking (the gentle art of perception) with the analytical power of big data and artificial intelligence, Real Time Strategy presents the decision making of the future which enables decision makers to develop dynamic strategies, monitor their validity, and react faster.

This book is an invitation to rethink strategic foresight in light of artificial intelligence (AI). The authors have used their understanding of strategy, recent experience, and new technologies to provide readers with an overview of how AI can influence strategic foresight. They claim that there are blurring lines between human decision-making and mechanical wisdom. They take the case of scenario planning to demonstrate the convergence between human and artificial intelligence and how far our automated decision-making systems can be optimized. They examine the potential for integrating sensing machines with human intuition, suggesting that more effective strategic planning is possible by applying AI to human intuition. The book can be insightful to strategic thinkers and foresight practitioners.
