During April, the Foresight.fi bloggers discussed and introduced various methods for foresight work. These included theoretical, practical and innovative methods: the theory discussed the merits of the Delphi method used in foresight work and the possibilities of neuroeconomics, while the practical viewpoint concentrated on the benefits and possibilities of telepresence participation, using a Sitra workshop as an example case. The innovative new approaches that can be applied in foresight were demonstrated by a game-like approach for the collective discussion of different possible development paths for the future. The approach is developed by the Institute for the Future (IFTF).
The blog series for introducing Finnish foresight experts was kicked off with an interview with Kirsi Juva, the project manager for the Oivallus project.
