by At the Knowledge Base of Futures Studies 2020 launch last week, I reflected on some things I learned about the Foresight field in putting the collection together (Presentation: What I learned from the KBFS )
The collection is free to APF members as a member benefit and is available for sale to the public at the APF store.
HineSight! I love it. We need humour. My name’s Steve Bright. I agree with your 10 points.
We’ve been struggling with clients recently to help them understand the nature of the problems they-dealing with and found Bill Snowden’s Cynefin framework very useful, as I think many -especially government – stakeholders have a limited repertoire of ways of seeing a problem and tend to shoehorn things into the simple and now bucket.
Years ago I worked extensively with Prof. Oscar Mink at Austin UT where we worked on the uses of fiction as a tool in futures work. Good to know you’re still on the job! Regards
fiction is perhaps making a comeback in futures, design fiction, speculative fiction, sci fi as futures are all increasingly popular. And I love the cynefin framework!
Considero que ,a mayor parte de las formas de pensamiento con respecto a los futuros (independiente de la escuela Anglosajona o Francesa), tienen un carácter ANTROPOCENTRICA. Esto va de la mano de la visión y conceptualización de desarrollo (Vieja discusión), sin embargo por se vieja no significa que esté claro el asunto. Creo y estoy seguro que la Prospectiva se dirige hacia una conciencia mas allá de la mente humana, sino se traspone se conecta a seres no humanos.
