'IMPACT: A Foresight Game' Teaches Critical Thinking for a Technological Future - TechAcute. When someone mentions tabletop games, you probably associate those to games like Monopoly, Chess, Dungeons and Dragons, or Hoard.
Impact - Idea Couture. IMPACT: A Foresight Game is a serious board game that teaches you to think critically and imaginatively about emerging technology and the future of society.
Designed by the foresight strategists at Idea Couture, IMPACT invites participants to take on professions of the future and navigate change in order to achieve their character’s preferred future state. Through playing the game, participants will: / Learn the basics of futures thinking including some of the key terminology / Learn about the latest advances in science and technology (neurotech, nanotech, artificial intelligence, IoT, biotech, robotics) / Practice thinking about how these emerging technologies could evolve and the various ways they could influence society IMPACT is best played with 3-6 players and lasts 60-90 minutes. Impact from Idea Couture Inc on Vimeo. A New Board Game For Public Servants Just over a year ago, I was briefed on one of the most interesting design challenges of my career.
The ask came from Policy Horizons Canada, an innovation lab within the Government of Canada, who aimed to create a serious board game that would enable public servants to learn and practice foresight. Through a highly collaborative process, our team of futurists, strategists, and designers at Idea Couture worked with Policy Horizons Canada to develop IMPACT: A Foresight Game. The objective of foresight is not to predict the future, but to prepare for many futures. That's what makes a game such an ideal medium for learning foresight thinking.
In more linear formats, such as a films or novels, the narrative is static. In Impact, each player takes on the role of a character with a unique job from the future and a set of preferred future conditions that will make their job secure and prosperous. Sri Lanka to use foresight tools in national planning. ECONOMYNEXT – The Sri Lankan government has started work on using new scientific forecasting tools in national planning with support from world leaders in the field like Denmark and Malaysia.
Niroshan Perera, State Minister for National Policies and Economic Affairs, said the new tools will be used for planning to make Sri Lanka “the most open and competitive economy in south Asia.” The country faced numerous constraints with an economy immersed in debt, ethnic and social issues yet to be solved with consensus and climatic challenges, he said.

The concept of Future Workshops goes back to the ideas of Robert Jungk on how to involve people directly affected by political decisions into the decision-making process and was first published in Future Workshops: How to Create Desirable Futures, by Robert Jungk and Norbert Mullert (Institute for Social Inventions, UK, 1987).
While the authors see an application of this method in all fields of society, they themselves concentrate in their work mostly on communities and political action groups. What is it? A future-workshop is a method for planing and forming future: it helps to find causales, to create a vision and to define aims. This demands two 3 hour sessions. The results are reported in between the sessions and the final outcome is discussed in reflection session among all project partners. How is it used? Workshops can be used as participatory self reflective methods of both gathering data and supporting the organisation in the change process. Futures toolkit for policy-makers and analysts.

Tools For Leadership And Learning: Building A Learning Organization. Building A Learning Organization - PDF Version (1.08 MB)* Table of Contents Foreword As Champion of the National Managers' Community, I am proud to present the third edition of Tools for Leadership and Learning.
This publication represents various tools and practices that are being used by managers and practitioners throughout the public service. They help us to build our capacity to understand and master the changing roles that come with a knowledge-based economy and society. To me, the most exciting thing about this publication is how it illustrates that the public service is an organization in which we learn from each other, sharing tools and techniques to build a work environment that values personal initiative, innovation, team playing, learning and trust.

Global Calculator shows how the world can 'prosper' while tackling climate change. 28 Jan 2015, 07:20Simon Evans The world's population could live a prosperous, European-style lifestyle by 2050 at the same time as avoiding dangerous climate change, according to a new Global Calculator developed by the UK's Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
The online tool shows how global prosperity can increase, even as emissions fall by 60 per cent from current levels in line with climate targets. This feat, according to the calculator, would require a series of massive changes to how we use energy, such as a shift from fossil fuels towards nuclear and renewables, and much wider use of electric heat and transport. DECC's tool shows this transition might be slightly more, or slightly less expensive than the cost of doing nothing to tackle emissions. Either way, the difference in costs would be minimal, relative to expected growth in global wealth. How the tool works The summary dashboard for DECC's Global Calculator. Handouts.
