Foresight as a Service

In the seventh year of The Turbulent Twenties, associations must begin to prepare for the next decade. For many organizations in our community, however, making foresight an ongoing priority remains a challenge. Foresight as a Service (FaaS) is a new value offering from Foresight First LLC that will help your association shift the work of foresight from an occasional activity to a consistent practice. FaaS will provide valuable insights and intelligence—crafted by an experienced human curator—that your staff and voluntary decision-makers can integrate into their work today. FaaS is your association's opportunity to act with intention to prepare for the 2030s, and begin the work of creating a better present and future for your stakeholders and successors.

Foresight as a Service (FaaS)

  • "For all of its uncertainty, we cannot flee the future."

    Associations must learn the foundational lesson of this prescient quote. When she spoke these words during the summer of 1976, the brilliant Barbara Jordan could not possibly have known just how right she was. Nearly a half century later, her clarion call remains on point: we must accept our responsibility for the future through thoughtful action today. It is a powerful lesson for all association decision-makers to internalize immediately.
