Strategic Foresight at Deutsche Telekom AG

Strategic Foresight (SF) systems enable companies to identify and react to opportunities and threats in their environment and anticipate future changes. This paper reports on a case study on SF practices of Deutsche Telekom AG (DTAG). The foresight system of DTAG includes continuous scanning and issue-driven foresight activities. These SF activities generate value for DTAG in terms of reduction of uncertainty and the exploration of new business fields.
