Futures Through Design

Royal College of Art

This in-person, intensive three-day experience is designed for organisational leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and high-performing recent graduates who are seeking to transform strategic uncertainty into innovative opportunity. Participants will learn advanced design methodologies to anticipate, map, and use complex future scenarios to affect change across your organisation, industry sector or community.

Through hands-on engagement with futures thinking tools and techniques, you will develop new approaches to strategic innovation that can be immediately applied in your professional context.

Situated in London at the RCA Battersea Campus, the course combines theoretical frameworks with hands-on practical techniques. Participants will engage in immersive exercises using tools like:

• • society, Technology, Environment, Economics, Politics, and Values (STEEPV) analysis
  • scenario planning
  • design fiction to build capabilities in speculative thinking and strategic imagination.
