Futures by Stealth

Abstract
One of the challenges of futures methods is that by their very nature they exclude many people who find it more comfortable to sit in the today and familiar. Even the labels and language we use means many dismiss it. This session focusses one workshop approach to doing futures work that bypasses some of the "fixed cost" of getting into the futures space. The session starts with us all taking part in a rapid fire version of the workshop, then unpack the theory and futures methods that have been woven into it (regenerative design and three horizons)
Keywords
futures, three horizons, causal layered analysis
