The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) supported NSW Health staff to use futures thinking to prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. 51 participants from 24 health agencies across the state came together for a Futures Thinking Course to build their futures literacy and practice futures thinking methods.
The course marks the beginning of a broader journey to embed futures thinking into the culture of NSW Health. Instead of a one-off course, the program was designed to provide participants with the foundation for an ongoing community of practice.
Post-course support will be key to sustaining momentum and includes six live online sessions and individual coaching to help participants to overcome challenges they may face when trying to apply futures thinking in their specific work context.
