Foresight by Swine Insights

---

At Swine Insights International, we understand that the future of pork production is more uncertain than ever. Foresight by Swine Insights is a powerful offering designed to help pork producers and industry stakeholders implement Strategic Foresight, a structured process for anticipating change and developing long-term strategies to stay ahead of industry shifts.

What is Strategic Foresight?

Strategic Foresight is not about predicting the future, it’s about preparing for it. We define it simply as:

A discipline organizations use to gather and process information about their future operating environment.

By applying principles, methods, and structured processes, Strategic Foresight helps organizations understand how future trends and disruptions could impact their business. This allows them to develop long-term strategies that ensure they remain relevant and competitive in an increasingly uncertain world.

While related to a field called futures studies, Strategic Foresight is not about predicting the future, it takes a practical, business-oriented approach, using scenario planning to explore multiple potential futures. Instead of guessing what will happen, companies build a range of plausible scenarios and assess how each could impact their business.

How Does the Process Work?

Once an organization has developed a set of scenarios, they analyze:

• How different futures could directly or indirectly impact their business.
• What capabilities and resources would be needed to succeed in each scenario.
•  Which key capabilities and resources are relevant across multiple futures—allowing them to focus on the most high-value areas for strategic planning.

What Does Foresight by Swine Insights Offer?

Our process is designed to be practical, hands-on, and results-driven.

1. Initial Consultation – A free 30-minute call to determine if Strategic Foresight is the right fit for your business.

2. Senior Leadership Presentation – A short but critical session to ensure executive buy-in. Without leadership commitment, the process will not succeed.

3. Strategic Foresight Team Selection – We help you assemble an 8-person team to guide the process within your organization.

4. 2.5-Day Workshop – An intensive, hands-on training session where your team will:

• Develop a set of future scenarios

• Identify the key capabilities and resources needed for success

• Gain the skills and tools to continue implementing Strategic Foresight in your organization

• Workshops are best conducted in person, but virtual options are available if necessary.

5. One Year of Support – Every program includes ongoing guidance and scheduled video check-ins to help ensure your team successfully integrates Strategic Foresight into its long-term planning.

Why Choose Swine Insights?

Unlike traditional foresight consultants, we already understand the pork industry.

Most strategic foresight professionals are highly capable, but they often lack deep knowledge of swine production, supply chains, and the unique challenges of our industry. Too often, hiring an outside consultant means spending half your time educating them on the basics...the terminology, the market structure, the realities of production.

At Swine Insights, we eliminate that learning curve. We understand your business, your challenges, and your opportunities, so we can get straight to work helping you apply Strategic Foresight to your specific needs.

More Than a Service: A Mission

We are deeply committed to the future of the pork industry. Strategic Foresight isn’t just a valuable tool for our clients, it’s a critical step toward ensuring our entire industry remains competitive, resilient, and forward-thinking.

We believe in helping pork producers become more future-focused, progressive, and proactive. If you’re ready to build a stronger, more adaptable business that can thrive no matter what the future holds, we’d be honored to guide you through the Strategic Foresight process.
