Unveiling Dreams and Disruptions: A Foresight Game Takes a Leap from Virtual to Reality
After years of virtual exploration and strategic foresight gameplay, the Center for Engaged Foresight celebrated a milestone with the launch of its first over-the-table session of Dreams and Disruptions. This groundbreaking foresight game came to life at the Association of Professional Futurists’ ProDev Seminar, presented in collaboration with the Asian Institute of Management School Executive Education and Lifelong Learning.
A Unique Foresight Experience:
Dreams and Disruptions is not your typical board game. It goes beyond traditional gameplay, incorporating time horizons, drivers of change, leadership dynamics, and disruptive elements to construct a stress-tested, anti-fragile vision of the future. The game’s design is rooted in fostering a comprehensive understanding of potential scenarios by embracing randomness, inclusivity, and a diversity of voices.
Holistic Scenario Building:
What sets Dreams and Disruptions apart is its commitment to holistic scenario building. The game weaves together values and ethics, considerations of ethnicity, cultural influences, and spiritual dimensions. By integrating these diverse elements, the scenarios that emerge are not only robust but also anti-fragile, preparing participants to face disruptions with resilience and adaptability.
From Virtual to Reality:
While the game has been a virtual staple for years, the transition to an over-the-table format marks a significant leap. The tangible, face-to-face interaction adds a new layer of engagement and excitement to the foresight experience. Participants at the ProDev Seminar had the opportunity to physically engage with the game elements, enhancing the immersive nature of the strategic foresight exercise.
