Usage Note
Envisager means to consider or think about doing something, usually followed by de + infinitive: j'envisage de partir ('I'm thinking of leaving'). It is slightly more formal than penser à and implies deliberate forward planning. The related noun l'envisagement is rare; une perspective or un projet would be used instead.
Examples
"Il envisage de changer de travail l'année prochaine."
Natural Translation
He is considering changing jobs next year.
