All your possible futures

Keynote

Interactive scenarios that bring the future into the present

A foundational skill of futurism is in taking the signals and trends we’re seeing in the present and extrapolating them out into rich an vivid scenarios of the future. Done well, these scenarios should encourage conversation, spark debate and get audiences thinking more critically about the decisions we need to make in the present to prepare for whichever future unfolds.

In this unique conference offering Simon works with you to customise a suite of mini future scenarios for your audience to investigate. With a number of possible scenarios to choose between ‘All your possible futures’ can be tailored to focus on anything from organisational culture, the future workplace and technology driven disruption to corporate social responsibility, sustainability and leadership.

More workshop than keynote this offering is ideal if you want to encourage interaction and discussion within your audience. It can also serve as an incredibly powerful precursor to strategic planning initiatives where you want to generate new ideas and challenge conventional thinking.
