ToTAL/OPEN Programs "Future Foresight Workshop" (AY2023 3Q4Q)

We are happy to announce "Call for Entries" to the subject workshop. Any of Tokyo Tech students, who are belonging to the categories below, are being encouraged to apply the workshop.

It is not just Design Thinking! The methodology of "Future Foresight" spread in Europe and the United States as a way of thinking about future prediction and uncertainty management in the VUCA era. In Japan, "Future Foresight" is being used by many private companies, government and local governments as a methodology which may take different approach than "Design Thinking".

"Future Foresight" is important for the mindset which critically thinks about familiar views and relationships of existing things and gives a challenge of creative bias breaking and re-framing (redefining issues).

By using horizon scanning methods that capture the signs of uncertain change and forced thinking (brainstorming), we will proactively design the future in 10-15 years from now that nobody has yet conceived. In this class, you will experimentally learn how to use Future Foresight as a thinking tool for this purpose through 4 classes in Jan-Feb/2024.
