Their approach emphasizes values such as social justice, impact, action, and continuous learning, ensuring that foresight insights translate into practical, real-world outcomes.

The organization delivers insight, capability, and change through foresight tools, participatory governance models, and network-building strategies. SOIF works with early adopters and high-level decision-makers across government, private sector, and NGOs who are committed to foresight-driven action. Their methodology includes identifying emerging practices and sharing new insights to promote transformative change.
