Why shoud learning be boring when it can be fun and inspirating? What I am enthusiastic about is gaming, specially Monopoly. Last year when planning a business foresight course (for about 6th time) to Korean business people coming to Finland to study in MBa program at Helsinki School of Economics, I really started to think about teaching, in more innovative and inspirating way. I came up with an idea to combine futures teaching to Monopoly in the future. So last year my Korean student designed a whole new gameboard for future Korean Monopoly 2023. It included training in megatrends, trends, weak signals, wild cards, making scenarios and planning businesses for certain scenarios. The students had to also think about future monetary system and tokens- of course. The Korean students really loved to design their own game board while at the same time learning the basics in business foresight!

On tuesday I am about to teach some business people, designers, in a big Finnish Company. This time we design a game board for a game: Futuropoly. That is now my new concept of teaching. Check it here (sorry, in Finnish)!
