Discourse Through Futures: Expanding The Organisational Foresight Practice With Design, Li-Ting Huang, Xuqin Yu, Si Teng Lei, Tanaka Yasunori, Yahata Akihisa, Shyhnan Liou

IASDR Conference Series

The convergence of design and foresight is emerging as a powerful approach to navigate uncertainties and envision alternative futures. This study investigates how design and foresight are mutually facilitated based on the following questions: What are the current challenges in foresight practice? How can design meaningfully enhance foresight processes? Despite the growth of academic interest in frameworks such as experiential futures and design futuring, foresight practices of many organisations (particularly private corporations) remain limited in scope and imagination. Drawing on a practice-based perspective, this paper examines five organisational cases – the Japan Research Institute, the Taiwan Design Research Institute, the …
