2025 starts as it should… with a lot of work!
Last month, the WP leaders, the coordination team and experts from the Belgian and Spanish police forces met in Ghent to evaluate the third AHEAD foresight exercise, which focused on cyber security.
As part of the iterative approach adopted by the project, this evaluation meeting was meant as an opportunity to draw lessons and effective practices in order to learn from them, particularly with the aim of creating the AHEAD methodology user guide.
Key takeaways include:
🔶 The impact of strategic and operational objectives on the type of foresight to be conducted
🔶 The use of game cards as effective prompts to generate scenarios and stimulate participants’ thinking
🔶 The value of identifying key capabilities and not using too large a matrix to keep the creation of the capability roadmap manageable
🔶 The need to fine-tune the methodology according to the profile of the end-user (LEA, civil security actors, large organisations, small teams, etc.)
🔶 The involvement of external experts to bring a scientific expertise
