Using the future to design the present with Lena Tünkers
Manage episode 356790022 series 3300313
#031 - The future can seem like a figment of our imagination and devoid of reality. Our mind naturally creates multiple scenarios of how the future might unfold but we either ignore them or get worried about them.
In this episode, I speak with designer, facilitator and futures literacy educator Lena Tünkers on futures literacy and how we can use the future to shape the present. Lena mentions how analysing alternate versions of the future can be a powerful exercise in making them a reality. Lena also shares simple techniques you can use to reframe your imagined futures.
In this episode:
- What is futures literacy and how you can get better at it
- Probably, desirable and alternative futures
- Reframing assumptions of the future
- Creating future personas
- Getting buy-in for future scenarios in organisations
- and much more!
