Futures Methods for Innovation

Chapter 8 in Foresight and Innovation, 2013, pp 191-202 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the previous chapter, I have reviewed thoughts related to innovation. In the following, I will review practical examples on how the methods of future anticipation and weak signals in particular can be used as tools for innovation. In my view, the purpose of these methods is, as of anticipation in general, to help us open our eyes and to see the future possibilities in a wider sense. Anticipation helps us to examine different futures, for example with the help of scenarios, and to look at the possible emerging consumer needs through them.
