The aim of this study is to show that technology foresight can be utilised as an instrument for shaping the future of an organisation. In this paper technology foresight is presented at an organisational level, indicating that each case should be analysed individually while maintaining the methodology and the foresight process. This study also tries to demonstrate that the use of technology foresight can determine the shaping of the quality of an organisation and can potentially become the major driver in its development.
