Futures-Centered Design - what does the future need from us?
DESCRIPTION
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it's that the future isn’t pre-determined, but a wider range of possible futures that we can and should explore and shape. That’s why we need to become more observant and attuned to highly important and uncertain trends that will meaningfully interact and change the broader context in ways beyond our direct control.
How to make more thoughtful choices? How to balance creativity and critical thinking? And how to lead and promote creative confidence in a world that promises to be even more ambiguous and complex? Have a conversation with Lisa Kay Solomon!
OUTCOMES
Get to know more about futures-centred design by asking Lisa Kay Solomon anything you like to know, and having a discussion with her and fellow participants.
FORMAT
The AMA (ask me anything) session will happen live via Zoom.
