Foresight-Driven Innovation

In today’s fast paced environment, it becomes increasingly harder to foresee future developments and the potential for long term success of new products and services. Traditional planning and innovation methods are reaching their limits in the face of increasing uncertainty. Additionally, users’ needs and demands are increasingly driving product and service design, as the rise of methods like Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile Development show. The foresight-driven innovation program is designed to provide professionals a deep dive into the methods and tools that can be used to identify relevant trends and drivers of change, to develop alternative future scenarios and to identify business opportunities tackling future users’ needs.

This 2-day workshop is designed to provide the participants with concrete, hands-on exercises and methodologies to manage uncertainty and identify future proof innovation opportunities.
