Principais avaliações do READY, SET, FUTURE! INTRODUCTION TO FUTURES THINKING
I liked the course. It was exactly what I needed at this time. It was structured well and informative. The presenter was excellent. I enjoyed it and will take more courses with the IFTF.
Thinking systematically about the future it's a skill that is really required in the time being. The curriculum of this course applies to every discipline. I highly recommend this course.
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.
A great class to start off and get a basic introduction to the skills and abilities that futurists use in order to make forecasts and scenarios about the future.
