Title: Open Future Design Workshop
Speakers:
Charlie
I am the owner of Mr. Danoff’s Teaching Laboratory. I have a background in education and analysis. More importantly, I think Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects are one of the most beautiful, amazing things humans have ever made.
Joseph Corneli
I completed my doctorate on peer learning and peer production at the Knowledge Media Institute, part of the The Open University, UK. I then held postdoctoral research roles in computing and informatics, and made innovative contributions to teaching data science to design students. I am presently based at Oxford Brookes University, working on a large consortium project about Open Research. I am also the director of Hyperreal Enterprises, Ltd., which does transdisciplinary R&D.

Abstract & description
editAbstract
editTogether with workshop participants, we will co-develop a Design Pattern Language for envisioning, exploring, and enacting the future.
Description
editIn the Minnesota 2050 project, participants were selected from a variety of professions and leadership roles to produce scenarios for local energy and land use, and combined modelling with scenario planning (Olabisi et al., 2010). Addressing the world’s largest problems requires both new ways to bridge between the viewpoints and skill-sets of, e.g., professional futurists, programmers, data scientists, local farmers—and to draw on the insights of citizen scientists (Wildschut, 2017). To engage with this complexity, we have proposed to use and develop a collection of (“virtual”) patterns of patterns that work fluently across domains, levels, and spheres of endeavor (Corneli et al., 2021).
10 minutes. Introduction to the hands-on activities of the workshop
We will walk through this itinerary, as an overview of the workshop itself, with examples from previous pilots.
20 minutes. Session 1: Causal Layered Analysis of attendees’ projects
In this session we aim to get everyone on the same page. We will start with two big pieces of paper per group (1) to describe the challenges that you will address for users; and (2) the concrete challenges that your group faces. Use the Causal Layered Analysis layers.
15 minutes. Share back
Envisioning the future: Share key findings as future stories, which we will collect in one overall map.
20 minutes. Session 2: Pathways to action
In this session we explore the future stories that we developed, and identify paths to action. Use these keywords: HOWEVER, BECAUSE, THEREFORE, SPECIFICALLY. Then discuss the solutions you’ve come up with using the roles we will provide and make improvements to your action plans as needed.
5 minutes. Closing.
What happened? What worked well? What could improve?
Further details
editQn. How does your session relate to the event themes: Diversity, Collaboration Future?
Our workshop is designed to use patterns and Causal Layered Analysis to help participants imagine alternative futures for their individual projects and humanity as a whole.
Qn. What is the experience level needed for the audience for your session?
Everyone can participate in this session
Qn. What is the most appropriate format for this session?
