COURSE DESCRIPTION

SFIN 6B12
Foresight Studio 2
0.50 Credit(s)
Seminar
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. This is part two of a course run between the fall and winter terms.
