Context and Purpose<\/h3>\n

National de-risking fails when institutions plan for yesterday\u2019s risks. Compounding shocks, technology acceleration, cascading infrastructure failure, geopolitical spillovers, and social trust breakdown create non-linear risk landscapes. Traditional foresight is often siloed, speculative, and disconnected from standards, adoption pathways, and correction discipline\u2014making it hard to translate into actionable readiness.<\/p>\n

The Global Risks Forum (GRF) is a whole-of-society standards-and-legitimacy forum within the Nexus governance system. GRF\u2019s Foresight Platform is the frontier stage for governance-grade foresight<\/strong>: horizon scanning, scenario architecture, stress tests, and early-warning governance signals that are publishable, correctionable, and usable\u2014feeding standards evolution, evidence priorities, policy adoption guidance, and capital-readiness disclosure norms.<\/p>\n

The Foresight Platform Lead \/ Host is accountable for end-to-end programming and growth of this platform: setting vision, curating and hosting convenings, building partnerships, producing open foresight governance assets, and expanding participation\u2014while preserving neutrality, handling discipline, protected participation, and strict non-execution boundaries.<\/p>\n

\n

Key Responsibilities<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Set the platform\u2019s multi-year vision and annual program as a frontier global stage for governance-grade foresight in national de-risking readiness.<\/li>\n
  • Define signature programming (flagship forum + quarterly scenario\/stress-test cycles) aligned to GRF standards and recognition releases.<\/li>\n
  • Establish platform norms: neutral posture, safe-publication boundaries, and clear separation between foresight outputs and predictive \u201cclaims.\u201d<\/li>\n
  • Curate and host foresight forums, horizon scanning roundtables, scenario laboratories, tabletop exercises, and cross-platform stress tests.<\/li>\n
  • Convene diverse expertise: science\/technology, infrastructure operators, finance risk leaders, public authorities, civil society\/media, and community\/Indigenous leadership\u2014without bloc dominance.<\/li>\n
  • Ensure convenings produce structured outputs: scenarios, stress-test findings, early-warning signals, and publishable briefs.<\/li>\n
  • Produce an \u201copen foresight stack\u201d for national and regional adoption, including:\n
      \n
    • scenario frameworks and stress-test templates<\/li>\n
    • horizon scanning taxonomies and signal registries<\/li>\n
    • governance implications briefs: what standards, claims rules, or due-process mechanisms must change<\/li>\n
    • early-warning governance triggers for convening escalation and \u201cstop-the-line\u201d criteria<\/li>\n
    • correction and supersession guidance for foresight artifacts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
    • Ensure outputs are versioned, traceable, and correctionable; prohibit silent edits and retrospective rewriting.<\/li>\n
    • Provide structured inputs into GRF\u2019s standards and recognition evolution: emerging risks that require new profiles, new evidence quality expectations, or updated claims boundaries.<\/li>\n
    • Coordinate with Research and Innovation platforms to translate foresight signals into evidence agendas and open implementation patterns.<\/li>\n
    • Coordinate with Policy and Capital platforms to translate foresight into adoption guidance, stress-tested disclosure norms, and comparability improvements.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain a \u201cdo-no-harm\u201d posture: avoid publishing content that exposes vulnerable communities, critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, or exploitation pathways.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain handling discipline: controlled sessions where sensitive vulnerabilities are discussed; public-safe publication posture with redaction rules.<\/li>\n
    • Maintain COI\/recusal discipline and concentration controls; prevent foresight outputs from being used as influence tools or market-moving claims.<\/li>\n
    • Own platform growth KPIs: contributor pipeline, attendance, retention, geographic and constituency coverage, and participation quality.<\/li>\n
    • Build partnerships with foresight institutes, labs, observatories, and practitioner networks (governance-only, non-exclusive).<\/li>\n
    • Ensure protected participation norms: safe dissent, anti-retaliation routing, and respectful convening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n

      Compensation, Remuneration, and Expenses<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Governance authority is not paid.<\/strong> No compensation is linked to recognition outcomes, enforcement actions, dispute results, policy outcomes, market outcomes, or influence. No success fees.<\/li>\n
      • Operational workload may be compensated (where permitted).<\/strong> Platform programming and production may be compensated only as time-bounded, deliverable-based operational services, independently approved, auditable, and never tied to substantive governance outcomes.<\/li>\n
      • Expenses may be reimbursed<\/strong> if documented, pre-approved, and policy-compliant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        Opportunities for Leaders to Join<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Build and host a frontier global stage for governance-grade foresight that directly strengthens national de-risking readiness.<\/li>\n
        • Publish open scenario and stress-test toolkits that governments and institutions can reuse to improve readiness.<\/li>\n
        • Shape standards evolution by identifying emerging risks early and translating them into governance changes.<\/li>\n
        • Convene cross-helix expertise in a neutral forum designed to withstand scrutiny and prevent capture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n

          Leaders Profile<\/h3>\n

            \n
          • strategic foresight, scenario planning, horizon scanning, and stress testing in public or private institutions<\/li>\n
          • complex systems risk, cascading infrastructure risk, technology risk governance, or systemic financial risk<\/li>\n
          • crisis governance, resilience planning, and cross-sector convening under scrutiny<\/li>\n
          • research institute or policy platform leadership with strong publication and correction discipline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Capabilities and Mindset<\/h3>\n
              \n
            • Structured foresight: converts uncertainty into usable scenarios and stress tests, not speculative narratives.<\/li>\n
            • Neutral convenor: resists politicization and avoids market-moving claims.<\/li>\n
            • Safety-first publication: understands information hazards and controlled disclosure.<\/li>\n
            • Output-driven: convenings produce reusable artifacts (templates, briefs, registries).<\/li>\n

              • Willing to fully disclose relevant interests and comply with conflict-of-interest and recusal requirements.<\/li>\n
              • Not placed in a situation where service creates unmanageable conflicts or compromises neutrality.<\/li>\n
