4.1.4 Adapting your case
Course subject(s)
Module 4. Future scenarios and potential beneficial system interventions
After hearing the most common pitfalls in the video, take some time to critically look at your own work.
There are two things you really need to check.
The first one is:
Is there any sign of predictions in your scenario application? If there is, either remove the scenario label and explain why you think in your case you can predict the future. If you are, just like me, convinced that predicting the future is for Harry Potter, then create a variety of plausible futures and write a nice short story about what your situation looks like in those futures.
The second one is:
Check whether your identified ideas for change are too alike. Check by categorizing them. If you can’t find more than 2 categories, set up a brainstorm for new categories and identify ideas for each of these new categories. Then, also, redo the screening of all the ideas and find a set of plausible ideas for change that you can analyze further in the next module.
