This article focuses on how organisations create knowledge about
futures, and how these knowledge creation practices could be improved.
The article is based on empirical data on Finnish companies as well as
on conceptual work on the nature and the use of futures knowledge. The
main message of the article is that the organisational practices of
futures knowledge creation have a narrow and singular scope, they treat
futures knowledge as a separate block and they are not based on best
practices in foresight. We propose ways to improve the current knowledge
creation practices and discuss the roles of foresight practitioners and
public and private actors in these practices.
