This book offers a cutting-edge integration of strategic foresight principles with practical applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in business leadership and decision-making. Designed for executives, managers, and educators, it provides a comprehensive roadmap for navigating the complexity and uncertainty of modern strategic environments—often defined by VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) dynamics. Offering executives tools to embed AI into strategic processes, such as sensing, scenario analysis, forecasting, decision-making, and organizational learning, it unpacks how digital intelligence systems can support human judgment while preserving ethical integrity and strategic adaptability. Grounded in academic rigor and enriched with case snapshots from global companies like Shell, Siemens, Deloitte, and Microsoft, this work provides diagnostic models, foresight frameworks, real-world applications, ethical cautions, and leadership strategies to build future-ready organizations. Whether you're a senior executive preparing your organization for exponential disruption, an educator reimagining strategy curriculum, or a consultant advising on AI transformation, this book equips you with the tools to detect weak signals and emerging trends earlier using AI-powered scanning tools, build adaptive strategic scenarios with the aid of machine-generated models, balance human judgment with algorithmic insight in boardroom decisions, develop AI-augmented governance systems for strategic resilience, and cultivate a future-ready mindset grounded in ethical, systemic, and data-driven thinking.
