This month, we’re switching things up. Instead of hosting our usual SD Drinks meetup, we’re inviting the group to **attend another event together**: **Strategic Foresight for Driving Organizational Transformation**, hosted by Rotman BDI. Strategic foresight i.e. our ability to anticipate and plan for change already comes up often in our SD conversations. This event explores those ideas in practice, with a case study led by the **Centre for Social Innovation**, adding a layer we deeply care about as designers: meaningful impact and tackling complex, wicked problems. It’s a topic that feels highly relevant to service design, strategy, and systems thinking, and one we know will resonate with the group. 📅 **Date & time:** February 10, 5:30 pm 📍 **Location:** Rotman School of Management, Room 1065 105 St George Street, Toronto, ON M5S 3E6 🎟 **Tickets:** Please register directly via the host’s Eventbrite page [ https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/strategic-foresight-for-driving-organizational-transformation-tickets-1981007188829](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/strategic-foresight-for-driving-organizational-transformation-tickets-1981007188829) **Why join as a group?** This is a great opportunity to: * explore a topic deeply relevant to design, strategy, and systems thinking * be inspired by practical foresight frameworks and perspectives * connect with others, thinking about long-term impact and change **How we’re doing this:** Some of us have already registered and plan to attend together. After the event, we’ll grab a drink nearby to continue the conversation — optional, casual, and very SD Drinks 🍻 If you’d like to coordinate or chat ahead of time, the conversation is happening in our Discord event chat: [https://discord.gg/Qc434j5T](https://discord.gg/Qc434j5T) Hope you can join us, see you there!
