A playful Lab for Futures Ecologies

Futures Ecologies are co-created future scenario’s for unbound exploration of the future issues and opportunities in your field. You will learn to anticipate megatrends relevant to your organization, imagine different future scenario’s using Futures Ecologies as a method in our Futures Labs.

Practical information Futures Labs

In our Futures Labs we explore Futures Ecologies to create regenerative strategies for your organization.

Futures Ecologies are stories that explore what societies might look like in the future, if we design from a perspective of co-creation and regeneration with and for all entities within the earth system.

These stories show pathways to emerging futures and inform ultra long-term (+100 years) strategies and vision processes. Get inspired by a 1 hour lecture, do a half or full-day workshop, or collaborate on longer projects that implement actions in practice.

Futures Ecologies offers a methodology of exploring and re-imagining the future, and creating innovative strategies and visions that accommodate different futures.

Futures Ecologies methodologies

  • Futures Web

    We’re mapping impacts from three emerging issues using Futures Webs. These give us details of different possible futures.

  • Sci-fi Prototyping

    A creative method to create fact-based future stories and test the impact of future technology and developments on people.

  • Visualizing Futures

    The future comes to life with images. We make these vi- suals ourselves on the spot, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

  • Back casting

    Using a detailed picture of the future we back cast to the present to formulate actions and visions for the short and long term.

“The Futures Lab workshop helped us break free from the daily routine and look at what really matters in the long term. Together we fantasized and visualized a vision of the future that helped us make concrete the steps we need to take as an organization. Marjolein is good at discovering connections between apparently separate elements.”
