The Foresight approach, which aims to shape the future rather than predict it, is now gaining momentum and finding application in policy formulation. Foresight, as a concept, involves the systematic exploration and analysis of future trends, uncertainties, and possibilities to inform decision-making and policy formulation. In the realm of policy, foresight plays a vital role in guiding development planning. The synergistic approach is a framework within foresight that underscores the significance of integrating diverse knowledge sources, stakeholders, and perspectives to create a more comprehensive understanding of complex issues. It acknowledges that tackling complex challenges requires collaboration and synergy among different disciplines, sectors, and societal actors. How has the conceptual and scientific development of foresight evolved over time? What motivates individuals and organisations to embrace foresight practices? To what extent does the synergistic approach benefit policymakers by fostering a comprehensive understanding of complex issues, improving decision-making through inclusive processes, and enhancing policy outcomes? How is the practice of foresight implemented in Indonesia, and what valuable lessons can we extract from this experience?
