Foresight Gaming
We develop, realize, and implement bespoke foresight games or adapt our existing foresight gaming approaches for our customers. Our approaches range from card-based tools and board games to scenario enactment techniques.
Future Disruptions Game
The Future Disruptions Game is a board game we piloted in 2016 with approximately 70 international experts. We and our customers have used this serious foresight game widely since, and there is a creative commons version of the game. Also, you can order copies of existing games from us, or we can produce bespoke versions on other topics for you. Learn more here.
Scenario Enactments
While “traditional” foresight approaches tend to favor discussion and thus a cognitive focus to anticipate and understand possible futures, the enactment approach enables participants to enact “living in” a possible future scenario, thereby anticipating and “experiencing” these future worlds more directly. Scenario enactments combine scenario techniques with tools from improvisational theatre and worldbuilding. We have worked with scenario enactments, e.g. for analyzing city futures or the future of employment, internationally and for public and private sector clients.
