Futures thinking, Strategy Development and Transformative Research Course

NDS and Professor Sohail Inayatullah

This intensive strategic foresight course will be interactive and focus on enhancing the ability and capacity to create alternative and preferred futures in the NDIS world. Participants will be assisting in building their capability to anticipate major trends, challenges and opportunities facing organisations and the wider sector and explore critical questions including:

What are the futures of disability service providers?
How will the NDIS impact your organisation?
What are the potential impacts of platform cooperativism?
Indeed, how will the increasing rate of change impact how and what you do?

Participants will select a focus question, a compelling issue that they are working on, and use the questioning and creating process to design the future they desire. Along with an eye to the external world, we will explore our inner narratives and the stories that can help take us to our preferred futures. In-depth and extensive coverage of strategic foresight concepts, tools and methods will be provided along with the application of these methods to the participants’ compelling issue or action learning projects.
