Synthesizing Futures Practice
Abstract
This chapter offers a worked, instructional example to show how scanning → sensemaking → scenarios → artefacts → backcasting → decisions fit together. It is not a formal study; in practice, teams should begin with evidence gathering and stakeholder engagement, then use the structures here to integrate their own research into decisions.
Fields of Study & Subjects
Scientific Research and Philosophical Inquiry
Innovative Approaches in Technology and Social Development
