Future Methodologies

Future Methodologies

1. Forecasting

   • Historical data to forecast short term future + Graphs and statistics to make predictions

2. Feasibility Studies

   • Detailed assessment of the need, value, and practicality of a particular future + Helps determine the most effective and efficient use of resources

3. Scenario Writing

   • Analysing various factors and how their combination would affect the future + Tend to use the ‘best case’ and ‘worst case’ method

4. Simulation Games

   • Similar to a role-play, where participants represent a role within a situation, and improvise their interactions + Shows the processes, stereotypes, and perspectives that may influence futures
