FORGE

Foresight Organisation Readiness Grounding Evaluation

FORGE is a ForgeFront scoring questionnaire for futures and foresight maturity.

FORGE scores how well an organisation, or an individual in an organisation, uses foresight to shape strategy and policy. It measures where you sit on that maturity scale so you can act if there is a gap.

FORGE is built for people in strategy, policy, futures and foresight roles across government, business, the charity sector and academia. Whether you lead an organisation, sit in a dedicated strategy team, or hold a policy role in government, this assessment is for you.
