Foresight is both a personal and a civilizational capacity to make sense of the dynamics of change and the weights of stability. The payoff for this enhanced comprehension is better systems design and better decision-making. Students will learn concepts and tools to integrate seeming dichotomies-personal/social, change/stability, local/global, near-term/long-term-into holistic, system-level designs. Students will become highly proficient at the direction and use of specific strategic foresight techniques including systems thinking, horizon scanning, alternative futures, incasting, scenario planning, visioning, and causal layered analysis.
