Essential Qualities of an Effective Client/Sponsor in Foresight Exercises

For a successful foresight exercise, the client or sponsor must clearly understand how foresight aligns with their strategic goals. They should define specific terms of reference and maintain realistic expectations while allowing sufficient time for the process. Political and institutional strength is crucial to implement results effectively, avoiding disappointment from reports left unused. Financial stability is also necessary to sustain the budget, and the organization needs to have the resilience to maintain interest throughout the exercise and its implementation phase.
