Course Overview
Exploring the near plausible futures for growth
The course focuses on teaching leading tools, techniques, and principles of Strategic Foresight and a systematic approach to applying them to identify growth opportunities and anticipate risks in the near plausible future and develop a strategy to win using Rapid Foresight Canvas.

Good overview of the "what", but theoretical. Lacks conceptual elements focusing on the "how".

The content is great. But the intro sound for each section is HORRIBLY loud, then the sound for the instructor is quiet. I think I blew a speaker in my car while listening to this course. Sad, because the content is great. Why didn’t Udemy check or equalize the sound?
