Policy Fit for the Future: The Australian Government Futures Primer (2024)
The Australian Government Futures Primer was developed by the Policy Projects and Taskforce Office in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet. It provides an overview of Futures methodologies and their practical application to policy development and advice. While written for policy officers, it is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in the practical application of Futures work. It includes a four-stage model for applying Futures and 9 core techniques, such as horizon scanning, scenarios and backcasting, as well as 7 complementary tools, including systems mapping and Causal Layered Analysis (CLA).
