Make Sense of an Ever-Changing World to Imagine and Build a Thriving Future
I team up with organizations to create a personalized approach to Futures Design to address complex business and societal challenges and create opportunities, for today and tomorrow. Together, we will bridge the gap between research, strategy, and design to take a long-term view that anticipates and fulfils emerging needs and creates social and economic value.
A Futures Design Process at a Glance
Futures Design is an iterative process that continuously reveals, tests, and refines future possibilities as organizations and individuals face emerging disruptions and develop ideas with the greatest potential and impact.
The three main phases of a Futures Design process are:
-
Exploring the Landscape: To scan the world for signals
of change and uncover market shifts. -
Envisioning Scenarios: To speculate potential future scenarios and artifacts and identify opportunity spaces.
-
Establishing the Future: To create preferred future states and desired outcomes in the short and long term.
