The Strategic Foresight Hub at the Stimson Center is helping to inform decision-makers about global trends, analyzes future risks & opportunities, and actively seeks to find convergence and resolution to differences and disputes. It is at the core of a global network of strategic thinkers and sources for critical information, reflection, and innovative methodologies, identifying today's weak signals that become the driving forces of tomorrow’s reality.
Because not one person or institution can expect to know everything about the future or how to discover it, the Hub is strengthened by the diversity of voices and unites the Stimson Center’s wide array of expertise across programs and projects. Together, we work to understand possible futures and provide strategic guidance for the management of uncertainty.
