Alpbach Lab 05: Learning with Futures: Integrating Foresight with Design to Drive Large Scale Change Processes

Many of today’s most pressing challenges are not simple problems but puzzling and messy situations. To deal with those challenges, the imperative is no longer to deal with them as simple problems to be fixed but rather to create new spaces for better collaboration to make progress. This policy lab will show how open, exploratory processes of learning with alternative futures can help us create better strategic conversations and develop a shared understanding of complex issues, imagine new pathways for making progress and build alliances of actors for change.
