Have you commissioned or participated in, or otherwise encountered, speculative design futuring work (e.g. #DesignFiction) in a technology firm?
Seeking *voluntary* participants for an MSc (Master of Science) research project investigating non-designers’ experiences of speculative design futuring methods in #technology #research and #innovation, and perspectives on the benefits, impact and value of these methods.
The purpose of the research is to investigate research gaps that exist on:
1) non-designers’ evaluation of benefits, impact and value of speculative design futuring work, and
2) conditions that affect translation of speculative work into strategic impact.
Participation by interview. Full confidentiality assured throughout.
Summary of final dissertation will be shared with participants.
Referrals very welcome – thank you.
