Social Work Leaders face volatile, uncertain conditions with little to no clarity. This session introduces futures thinking and strategic foresight as practical leadership tools to cut through the noise. Signal scanning, the Futures Triangle, and other foresight practices will help leaders anticipate change and guide their teams and organizations forward. 

Learning Objectives:

• Define futures thinking and strategic foresight and distinguish anticipatory leadership from reactive leadership in the context of social work practice.
• Apply signal scanning to identify emerging trends and drivers of change relevant to their own organization, team, or field.
• Describe how foresight tools can support leaders in navigating organizational change and building trust with their teams during periods of uncertainty.
