In this session, we’ll explore how facilitators can use existing technology signals and megatrend analyses to help groups co-create plausible future scenarios through a gamified, participatory format.
You’ll experience a gamified format to surface assumptions about the future, with a focus on disruptive technologies, and broaden perspectives on potential future impacts.
We’ll reflect together on what this kind of format makes possible in facilitation: where it works well, what it reveals, and what to be mindful of when using games to provoke futures thinking.
Useful for:
This session will be useful for facilitators who want to experiment with interactive, low-threshold ways of introducing scenario thinking into group work.
Important: we often use breakout rooms, whiteboards, and plenary discussions. Please be prepared to turn on your camera, use your mic, and participate.
What’s the point of this SIG?
The Facilitating Futures & Foresight SIG focuses on helping facilitators help others make sense of change, identity, and choice, using futures and facilitation approaches.
Sessions are designed as “learning-by-doing” and “learning-by-sharing” experiences. You don’t need prior futures expertise. Come curious, willing to reflect, and open to engage.
