Future & Design Thinking Track

identify opportunities for innovation and apply the agile mindset

About the Track

The Goal

Future Thinking is the consideration of the future in design and innovation processes – with suitable methods and tools at hand to make future scenarios and trends tangible. Design Thinking, on the other hand, draws from trends and understandings within a much smaller time frame (weeks, months, a few years), generates plausible hypothetical scenarios for examination and then creates a specific end product or service.

The insights from these track-specific methods and tools will enrich your knowledge and experience base for your future role as an Agile Facilitator at BI.
