A. Two Areas of Futuring
Anticipating the future is an important component for many disciplines. It is also vital for individuals, businesses, and governments to ensure sustainability going into the future. Essentially, futuring does not concentrate on predicting the future but focuses on developing ways to improve it when it comes. Employing futuring techniques looks at ways to prepare for the future by making the appropriate adjustments based on the future expectations or trends (Sikkema, 2013). All parties involved in futuring intend to establish the risk and opportunities available in the future. As such, they can focus on ways to exploit the future opportunities and ways to mitigate the expected risks. In this paper, the focus will be …show more content…
Application of Two Futuring Techniques to SWOT Analysis Opportunity
In the SWOT analysis, the opportunity concerned using the Mouse Model to develop effective interventions in managing the Zika Virus. The model presented an opportunity for researchers to analyze the disease comprehensively and plan for future activities to manage the problem (Morel, 2004). The analysis has a particular focus on the anatomy and the development cycle of the disease. The use of animal models has proven insightful in the past and recent times (Simmons, 2008). This opportunity has great relevance to the two aforementioned futuring …show more content…
The Mouse Model offers researchers the opportunity to understand the nature and development of the disease (Popko, 2003). As such, polling, as a futuring technique would complement the opportunity by aiding in increase the knowledge pool. Applying the polling technique would enable the researchers to have increased knowledge of the disease from people who have been studying the disease or involved in deciphering the nature and development of infectious diseases such as Zika virus. Experts would be able to streamline the activities involved in finding a solution by factoring the changes that occur through time. For example, they would contribute to the knowledge relating to the behavior of infectious disease elements in changing environments or different human body characteristics. This implies that the opportunity to understand Zika Virus would be made more solid and increase the odds of coming up with an effective cure for the present times with information from expert sources. The element of changes through time rather than single event would be factored since the expert contribution would be inclined to consider the present and future behavior of the
