TCT innovation taxonomy and open foresight innovation paradigm

This paper presents a novel taxonomy for the review of literature specifically in the field of Science Fiction Prototyping (SFP) and Foresight Innovation. The taxonomy builds upon the ideas behind Socio-Technical Theory through a three-set Venn diagram that encompasses Academic Theory, Context, and Technologies (TCT). This taxonomy enables the observation for the existence of a new Open Foresight Innovation Paradigm (OFIP) that combines the previously established paradigms of Open Foresight and Open Innovation. The need to conduct research to validate the benefits of OFIP is presented by arguing that the paradigm has the potential to strengthen an organisations ability to successfully adopt SFP approaches to drive successful innovation outcomes via sustained university to business collaboration.
