Лучшие отзывы о курсе READY, SET, FUTURE! INTRODUCTION TO FUTURES THINKING
Awesome way to get a professional introduction to the futures thinking field. There are lot's of videos, reading materials and links included to get you familiar with the topic.
I really liked how this course was structured with videos, readings, and activities. It has a nice flow, and lots of helpful information. I would highly recommend this for any aspiring futurist.
Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to learn something more about the future, in other words, knowing how to differentiate it from a prediction.
Excellent overview of foresight studies. Nothing in any of the follow-on courses is technically hard, but I suspect putting it into practice is a bit like the game of Go: the rules are the easy part.
