| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Future thinking and speculation practices can be seen as a crucial premise to approach solving a problem in an innovative way. It is profitable at circumstances in which challenges are complex. Future thinking incorporates two particular approaches: diverging and converging. It requires a flexible way of understanding, to come with different thoughts. This chapter reviews the literature crossing Strategic Foresight and Design disciplines with the accentuation put on how innovation design students, educators and design practitioners may engage with the future. Combining Foresight and Design, as part of Strategic Planning processes, can help the emergence of new possibilities, cultivate the incorporation of diverse stakeholders, and provide for continuous learning through experimentation by utilizing design approaches to attain more profound knowledge and arrangement around current reality. A framework was presented to integrate speculation in design education highlighting the significance of the strategic foresight approach and explaining the theoretical background behind creating the framework. A participatory design workshop was conducted to explain methods used to validate the results of the theoretical background in order to further develop the framework. This framework can be adopted in the design field in order to facilitate the process and to support practitioners’ decisions to select suitable tools.</p> |
