AuthorMorgan & Claypool Publishers Jan 2020 - Jan 2021San Rafael, California, UsThreatcasting uses input from social science, technical research, cultural history, economics, trends, expert interviews, and even a little science fiction to recognize future threats and design potential futures. During this human-centric process, participants brainstorm what actions can be taken to identify, track, disrupt, mitigate, and recover from the possible threats. Specifically, groups explore how to transform the future they desire into reality while avoiding an undesired future. The Threatcasting method also exposes what events could happen that indicate the progression toward an increasingly possible threat landscape.https://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/abs/10.2200/S01113ED1V01Y202107THR001 -
