Preparation for Ideation & Prototyping Workshop

Now that you have been introduced to Futures Thinking, do spend time this week to research on your envisioned future scenario. Have a sense of what that future scenario is like and what you would like to focus on. This will help you in the Ideation and Prototyping workshop.

Attempt some of the frameworks mentioned by Mr Damien Cummings in the Futures Thinking workshop: PESTEL, SWOT, Horizon Scanning, Forecasting, Backcasting and Scenario Planning. This will help you paint realistic scenarios and solutions for Singapore's future.

As an additional learning resource, do check the Google classroom for a recording of the Futures Thinking workshop.
