Responding to the Sixth Wave of Innovation (6WoI) - Seminar Game
Crafitti (www.crafitti.com) celebrated its 10 years of existence in serving the innovation needs of its clients in the month of June 2018. We invited key industry experts to participate in a unique Seminar Game - Responding to the Sixth Wave of Innovation.
Gaming for policy making can provide a mechanism to surface unknown-unknowns through interactions between participants in an open environment.
In this seminar game we played two rounds.
In Round 1 – Calibrating the new wave – what are the positive and negative impacts of these technology and technology driven changes that are emerging. A Sixth wave calibration will result after round 1.
Responding to the calibrated new wave from first round will be the focus in Round 2. Responses will be invited on two dimensions – Urgency assessment and Proposed actions. The proposed actions will have two key axes – respond to change or create change. A Change-Response matrix results at the end of round two.
This was our first public seminar game on responding to 6WoI.
SEMINAR GAME FOR Exploring and Responding to GIS Technologies
The Game Play
Round 1. Team A and Team B in Round 1 calibrated the GIS technologies. This resulted in calibrated futures for both teams (an assessment for years 2020, 2025 and 2030).
Round 2: Team A’s Calibrated future became the “Certain Future” for Team B. Team B was asked to map the Urgency to respond in next two years (2018-2020) to the “certain future” that is now known. The calibrated future by Team A became the certain future – the certain scenario till year 2030. Based on this certainty Team B mapped the Urgency to respond in next two years on each technology dimension. After Urgency to respond, Team B also opted for specific response on each technology dimension out of the available five responses under Create Change or Adapt to Change. The round 2 resulted in Change-Response matrix for Team B.
