To capitalise on these attributes in the face of an increasingly uncertain global context, a foresight project has been undertaken by CSIRO for the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) and the Office of the Queensland Chief Scientist. CSIRO investigated trends, risks and opportunities for the future of Queensland through a literature review, horizon scanning, data collation, interviews and a workshop that brought together senior representatives of government, industry and the science community. As a result, five interlinked ―signposts‖ have been developed. These signposts are intended to stimulate long range thinking about the future of Queensland─thinking that transcends current jurisdictional and business boundaries. Two signposts point the way to evolved building blocks of Queensland─its people, culture and infrastructure. Two explore the way Queensland interacts with the world, both as contributors to a global economy and as guardians of significant
