Horizon Scanning Independent Study

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

Achieving strategic advantage to create preferrable futures requires a keen sense of emerging opportunities - and Horizon Scanning is a capability that can be honed to create excellence in anticipatory innovation. In practice, horizon scanning relies on both SENSING and SENSE-MAKING to identify signals in noisy environments and effectively interpret the possible impacts that may follow. The Horizon Scanning Independent Study Course will provide an opportunity for students to work with Arup Foresight, a leading foresight consultancy, to refine and enhance their globally recognized Drivers of Change database. Working collaboratively with ARUP professionals, students will gain hands-on experience in horizon scanning in a real-world setting.
