  2. Fore-CAN: The Project 4 Year R&D Project (2008-2011) funded by Defence Research and Development Canada (DRDC) via the CBRNE* Research and Technology Initiative (CRTI) Protection of Critical Infrastructure, ensure Relevance in future investments, better inform long term capability across government and partner organizations Multi-jurisdictional partnership (CFIA, PHAC, AAFC, OMAFRA, AARD, Dairy Farmers of Canada, Canada’s Veterinary Colleges, & TDV Global, Inc), Australia, UK, US. Over 300 participants from all sectors and many disciplines. 2

  3. Fore-CAN: The Project Project Objectives: Learn about and use foresight methodsto anticipate andgain insight into future threats and opportunities Apply insight to guide planning and investments in capabilities, capacities and competencies within the Animal Health Emergency Management (AHEM) environment Share and transfer knowledge. 3

  4. Fore-CAN: The Project Focal Question: Looking out to 2020 and beyond: How do we build a more effective, anticipatory and robust Animal Health Emergency Management system in Canada? 4

  5. Animal Health Challenges of the 21st Century What next? 5

  15. Recent Events: Symposium & Workshop Foresight…Insight…Action” May 11th-12th, 2010 Re-engaged the wider AHEM community to: Learn from key domestic and international speakers Review, assess & validate foresight findings thus far Develop directional vision and priorities for action Outcome: Positive feedback from participants Vision, priorities and pathways to 2025 better defined 17

  16. Early Project Insights:Benefits of a Foresight Approach Forces stakeholders to address future challenges collaboratively • Encourages multi-disciplinary approaches • Encourages creative thinking and employment of a long-term perspective 18

  17. Early Project Insights: Challenges of a Foresight Approach Can be time consuming and logistically difficult Achieving the required level of detail Applying performance metrics 19

  18. Project Status & Future Steps Project is at the half way mark Transition from “Project” to “Action” Expectation that Partners will transfer knowledge to their own organizations Joint actions under development Prevention, information management, education and training Strategic positioning (anchoring) of Project and Foresight to new initiatives National Farmed AH And Welfare Strategy Growing Forward II (AAFC) One World One Health 20
