Thinking beyond tomorrow: national security and strategic foresight

How can Australia prepare for a future it cannot predict?
What can emerging trends and weak signals tell us about tomorrow's national security challenges?
And what should Australians be asking themselves when thinking about the future they want the country to have?

In this episode, Sharryn Parker is joined by Dr Ryan Young and Laura Stewart to discuss how strategic foresight can help governments and policymakers challenge their assumptions and make more resilient decisions in an uncertain world.

Sharryn Parker is a Senior Policy Advisor at the ANU National Security College (NSC), on secondment from the Department of Defence.
Dr Ryan Young is the Director of Research and Methods at the NSC Futures Hub.
Laura Stewart is a Senior Advisor at the NSC Futures Hub.
