Studio
Prerequisite: SFIN 6C01 Innovation Research Methods (PT) or SFIN 6B10 Social and Participatory Research (FT)
This studio course will introduce foresight methods in the development of strategic proposals in the private, public, voluntary or ‘for-benefit’ sector. Working in teams, students will identify an issue in a specific sector and will begin their exploration and research in a divergent process of signal discovery through methods such as environmental scanning, new technology research, user research, field study, or stakeholder workshops. This phase of work frames the problem. In a convergent process, students will apply methodologies, which include medium- to long-range scenario planning and technology adoption modelling to develop creative insights and implications for action.
