This unit focuses on the field of futures and foresight study and why this area is of growing value to organisations and society. Futures thinking challenges the assumptions made about how society and business is organised and encourages looking beyond normal information sources and developing new ways of integrating knowledge. Using a multi-disciplinary approach, students will be encouraged to develop the intellectual tools to provide frameworks for imagining the future. Through individual and group work, this unit will provide a greater understanding of emerging issues, futures thinking and technological changes, and how they relate to the practical application of futures thinking skills. |
