Foresight is associated with the ability to make decisions now – with future outcomes in mind. For decades foresight in the business literature has been defined as a process involving activities such as scenario planning and strategy formulation. At the individual level, little has been done to explore the role Individual Foresight (IF) plays in the day-to-day activities and decision-making of employees. This research seeks to understand how IF is manifested in organisations. Data from six in-depth qualitative interviews with HRM professionals reveals several contributing factors to IF at the organisational or individual level. Reflection is identified as key to developing IF. A future research agenda exploring opportunities for HRM practices to identify or develop IF is proposed.
