The 2024 theme was “Hindsight and Foresight in Advancing Innovation to Transform Society”. Hindsight involves analyzing past successes and failures to gain valuable insights. By reflecting on historical data, previous innovations, and their outcomes, individuals and organizations can understand what worked, what did not, and why. Understanding past errors helps in avoiding similar mistakes in future endeavors. This is crucial in making informed decisions and improving processes. In contrast, foresight involves predicting future trends, challenges, and opportunities. It requires a forward-thinking approach to envision what society might need in the future. Foresight helps in setting a strategic vision for long-term goals. It involves creating a roadmap that guides innovation efforts towards achieving sustainable and impactful transformations.
