Webinar: Intro to Strategic Foresight & Futures ThinkingMad*Pow
Presented by Mad*Pow Experience Strategist, Liz Possee Corthell.
When the future is uncertain, how can organizations design and innovate boldly but responsibly? Futures thinking is an approach to strategic design that considers what is likely to change and what is likely to stay the same in the future, as a means to be more reflective in strategic planning. Considered by some to be more of an art, and by others to be a science, futures thinking gives us a framework to talk about our current world, and how the world may look in the future.
To quote futurist Dr. Sohail Inayatullah, “With futures thinking, we use the future to change the present. “
In this webinar, you’ll learn that futures thinking is not an effort to predict the future, but rather a means to illuminate unexpected implications of present-day issues that empower individuals and organizations to actively design desirable futures. The emphasis isn’t on what will happen, but on what could happen, given various observed drivers.
It’s a way of gaining new perspectives and context for present-day decisions, as well as for navigating the dilemma at the heart of all strategic thinking: the future can’t be predicted, yet we have to make choices based on what is to come.
This presentation will include a few tools you can start using right away, as well as a few activities to get us thinking about the future.
Take inspiration from some of history’s greatest minds: from Henry Ford and Maya Angelou, to Charles Darwin and Leonardo Da Vinci (we’ve even thrown in some Steve Jobs and Confucius to make sure the list is well rounded). The quotes will inspire you to plan and host great events.
