WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM

Scenario Workshops for Precision Medicine

What are the best practices and tools for designing and executing engaging, productive workshops, including those with a future focus? The World Economic Forum’s Precision Medicine Team first approached Worldview Studio to help design a workshop to test genomic data policies. That led to a request to improve design capacity for the whole San Francisco Centre. 

Worldview developed and delivered two experiential on-site trainings. The first covered foundational workshop design principles, archetypes, practices and skills. The second focused on foresight tradecraft, including the development of scenario vignettes. To help implement and share this learning throughout the Centre and WEF more broadly, we also created two extensive digital guides to basic and vignette workshop design, respectively. These included diagnostics, frameworks, checklists, alternative designs, sample agendas and templates, and facilitation tools and tips. Finally, staff can access additional coaching sessions to address their specific design challenges.
