Entrepreneurial Futuring Session
The future is full of uncertainties, but instead of just reacting to change, you have the power to shape what’s ahead! In this session, we’ll use a strategic foresighting approach, combined with an entrepreneurial mindset, to explore possible futures and how they might impact your work, ideas, or ambitions. By blending generative AI tools with human creativity, we’ll imagine alternative future scenarios and work backward to identify practical, actionable steps you can take today. With the power of futures thinking and entrepreneurship, you’ll gain the tools to become an active creator of tomorrow.
But let’s be real: shaping the future isn’t always smooth. It can be frustrating, messy, and full of moments where things don’t go as planned. That’s part of the process. We’ll also explore how to navigate those frustrations and how to stay grounded to turn setbacks into fuel for momentum. Because creating the future isn’t just about strategy, it’s also about resilience.
