Think Forward EP 121: Role of Imagination in Futures Work
Manage episode 454951930 series 3565738
"The only future we can make is the one we can imagine."
Most organizations treat imagination like New Year's exercise equipment—they know they should use it, but somehow it ends up gathering dust in the corner.
Join me for Episode 121 of the Think Forward Show as we explore how imagination transforms futures work from abstract possibilities into tangible futures we can build.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why imagination is the secret sauce of futures work
- How to break free from the "tyranny of the present"
- Practical tools from the Design Futurist Toolkit
- Making abstract futures tangible and actionable
Ready to flex your imagination muscle? This episode will show you how futures work comes alive when we combine rigorous analysis with creative thinking.
