AB  - Purpose–This paper aims to develop and assess an instrument measuring managerial foresight.Design/methodology/approach–The paper outlines the construction and estimation of the instrument through a seven‐step process. A total of 57 preliminary Likert items were developed based on an extant review and synthesis of definitions of foresight. The items were assessed through interviews and pre‐testing. A preliminary instrument was administered to a selection of managers. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed to assess sub‐scales and model fit. The instrument was evaluated in terms of reliability and validity.Findings–The study demonstrates a valid and reliable 12 Likert item scale for measuring managerial foresight.Research limitations/implications–Managerial foresight can now be assessed and tested for association with, for example, managerial or organizational performance variables.Practical implications–Managers can now be assessed and compared in terms of foresight.Originality/value–In developing and estimating an instrument for measuring managerial foresight, the paper advances foresight into a quantitatively measurable concept.
