ABSTRACT
This chapter links strategic foresight with one frequently applied tool of innovation management or entrepreneurship – the one of design thinking. Design thinking can play a vital role in the probing phase of the strategic foresight process. At the same time, however, strategic foresight can be integrated in the design thinking process of exploration, idea generation, and prototyping/testing. This chapter thus outlines, how strategic foresight can be part of design thinking projects, e.g., by means of scenario planning. Thereby, the author vividly describes how design thinking and strategic foresight can be intertwined and how they complement each other to bring forward innovation.
