We will meet at 10.00 at our classroom in TalTech
Two tasks for 08.01:
TASK 1: A future scenario
Describe a future scenario through which you explain your problem focus and concept.
(Micromobility in 2040 as an overall topic – you can add your title that refers to your work).
1. Give an overview of trends and signals (regarding micromobility) that will shape the future. It is not sufficient to cover the biggest megatrends, find more specific ones, analyse and show what kind of insights they create for you. They need to be backed up by sources, e.g. refer to a source where they originate from, or show based on what you drew the conclusion. Include a weak signal that supports your problem focus and/or concept.
2. Tell a story how chosen trends and signals will influence people in a societal level – what new meaning they are creating, what will change, who and what will be affected – not in a technocratic view, but the way people see, do, think about their daily activities (in a personal and in a social way).
3. Continuing, the future scenario should create an input for your focus area and concept – based on the trends and signals, bring out the factors that should be taken into account, name what are the pains and gains, from where you can identify opportunities – through these reason your choices and argue the relevancy of your topic, describe your concept. Identify major stakeholders and their potential influences on the scenario.
Explain what your concept is aiming for: at first a more general view/sentence which should be followed by a clear description of the use case of your concept / what it does / what your concept enables. Emphasise the value you are aiming to create in the future (both in a personal and systemic level).
Remember: the future scenario together with your concept description should form a consistent story, written in a narrative manner (not bullet points or separated paragraphs) – it should vividly illustrate how the described future might unfold and what you are proposing to happen in that future.
Length: min. one A4 (max. two A4-s), deadline 07.01 12.00 > upload to Moodle
TASK 2: A systems map
Show the draft of your map. The map should support your scenario creation.
The final map should illustrate how you have made sense of the topics covered in DS 3 connected to your work and topic:
– At first show how you have structured the information;
– Then depict how you understood the dynamics and connections of different topics and factors (related to your problem space);
– The third layer should explain potential innovation and intervention points, from where you created your solution.
The final map needs to be ready by 14.01, but we need to have an overview of your process on 08.01. If you can't attend the 08.01 class, upload the map to Moodle.
