Session

Predicting the future without a crystal ball

This workshop explains how the Anticipate technique works and participants will experience hands-on what future priming means. It sensitises your brain to future developments that are important to you or your organisation.

What comes closest to predicting the future is to see things early.
And to see things early you need to prepare your mind.
The best way to prepare your mind is future priming (based on Harvard research) which takes place by formulating so-called future facts. You may think of them as newspaper headlines which include the following requirements:
- 3 to 7 years in the future
- not mentioning your own company but certainly affecting your own company
- unconventional but not absurd
- not describing a trend, but an event (which prompted the newspaper article)

These facts are plotted on a canvas with the axes uncertainty and impact. We then conduct a scenario analysis with the most uncertain, most impactful ones.
