Imagining Not Just Technology, But the World it Will Live In
Foresight is, of course, more than single step. As part of a well-rounded analysis of possible futures, the step of mapping context is critical and why we give it the attention it deserves as part of a broader curriculum. Pairing powerful sensemaking tools with ways of bringing future concepts to life are the core of what Future Design provides. Beyond providing a platform to learn about emerging drivers of change, Future Design can equip students with tools to:
- Identify possibilities and risks upstream, before an innovation lands,
- Understand the impacts and connections between issues and innovations,
- Uncover surprising future issues that point toward challenges in the present; and
- Futureproof design by anticipating change in different contexts and scenarios.
