Abstract
A number of international organizations, national and regional governments as well as leading corporations have used Foresight to monitor trends, uncertainties, weak signals and wild cards; explore alternative futures under complexity and uncertainty; build future visions; identify key scientific and technological areas; develop new products and services; and recommend policies and strategies. Through seminars, students will be provided with practical experience in designing Foresight and Strategic Planning processes for public and private organizations. Applications and cases of Foresight will be presented with examples from different levels of governance with international, national, regional as well as industrial, sectoral and corporate focus. Overall, the students will understand how Foresight approaches, processes and methods are integrated into policy making and strategy development processes, and will gain capabilities to apply these in their professional practice.
Learning Objectives
- To provide an overview of Foresight and Strategic Planning.
- To introduce several key approaches used both in Foresight and Strategic Planning in a complementary stance, including methods for scanning environments, identifying trends and drivers of change with weak signals and wild cards, developing future scenarios and visions and making long, medium and short term strategic plans for identifying priorities and actions.
- To provide an overview of innovative ways of decision-making and STI policy formulation; STI strategy- and priority-setting; and cooperation and networking with stakeholders will be introduced.
- To provide a practical experience in designing Foresight and Strategic Planning processes for public and private organizations.
Expected Learning Outcomes
- Ability to build necessary theory, argumentation and practice of using Foresight and Strategic planning at the national, regional and corporate levels
- Ability to use quantitative and qualitative approaches, processes and methods in a practical case study
