    Homework for 5.11:

    TASK 1:
    Futures signals
    Continue exploring future signals and trends (connected to your topic). One source that may help you with widening the basis for the search: https://radar.manyone.com/intro
    Consider the signals as a starting point to identify new trends before they are taken up in the mainstream of society and the media (so not existing or soon to be launched products, services, etc). Their role is to help you open up new viewpoints and broaden your perception of possibilities. 
    To find as many interesting signals as possible, scan the horizon systematically: examine different categories. Most common taxonomy in horizon scanning is PESTLE (slide) – your research is still a little thin if you collect too many findings in one category and hardly any under others. PESTLE consists of six categories, find signals at least in four underlined areas (depicted on slide).

    TASK 2:
    Ideation
    To ideate on more directions and identify diverse opportunities do the lotus blossom. For those who don't remember the method, here is a reminder.
    Combining your research insights, future signals and your imagination ideate on the blossom: write down your topic / focus point / problem / paradox in the center and ideate 8 possibilities/ideas/thoughts around it, then take one generated possibility from the first round and ideate new 8 possibilities around it, and then a new one from the second round and ideate 8 new; from the first round ideation take another point and repeat with two rounds. Altogether you should have 5 "boards" with boxes (5x9) filled in.
