The Foresight Department of the UK Government Office for Science has released a new update to The Horizon Scanning Toolkit. “Exploring the future: tools for strategic futures thinking” discusses 24 different futures techniques.

If you are in any way interested in futures approaches, methods and case studies, this is a treasure trove of information which will keep you occupied for days.

It is a project that has been put together by the ever enthusiastic and sound futures/innovation/branding thinker Patrick Harris of thoughtengine.

I’ve made a small contribution to the toolkit via a recording of my thoughts on the subject of using folksonomies.
