Strategic Foresight Group (SFG) prepares confidential and public research reports, as well as briefings for leaders derived from its research. SFG has developed a reputation for accurate projections. Its projections about developments in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Kyrgyzstan have come true.
Initially, the focus of SFG’s research was on South Asia, particularly the dynamics within and between India and Pakistan - though we also developed scenarios for Central Asia and parts of West Asia. In the future, SFG will be geared to develop scenarios for global issues.
