ABOUT FORESIGHT
The Foresight Design Initiative takes action and fosters dialogue on sustainable innovation in Chicago. It undertakes both its own programs, such as the Sustainable Business Alliance, Green Drinks, and Immersion, and consults on the development of others with a range of partners. Foresight views Design as a systematic approach to problem-solving that applies not only to traditional design fields, like graphics and architecture, but to business and policymaking. Through its diverse activities, the organization engages the general public, business and government to build community, educate and take action to sustain and improve the quality of life without sacrificing the needs of future generations.
