“actively sensing,” or being someone who is generally always attuned and open to new signals, requires taking care of the equipment that allows you to do so.

Futures Wheels, this tool helps illuminate pathways of change, by starting with an initial major change at the center, then working outward in steps of immediate first-order impacts, then from each of these, branching to second-order impacts, then third, or until you run out of space.

Breaking official futures

The stories we tell ourselves about the future, whether it’s the timelessness of a particular business model, the hegemony of an economic system, the durability of an ideology, or the boundaries of social or political acceptability can become barriers to change if they’re not periodically revisited, revised, and adapted for present realities which point to shifting future possibilities…

Perhaps the best way to describe an official future is as a positive, up-and-to-the-right-forever mission statement….

A more productive process is to frame a better question through researching the landscape of possible issues ahead that might influence or affect emergent futures, then, if appropriate, developing a few conceivable scenarios based on how future goals and the possible landscape might interact. This is the time to consider how best to navigate toward a preferred future in which those goals might be met within each scenario.

Clinging to an official future not only leaves us with outdated beliefs and ineffective plans, but it potentially deprives many of us of the agency to realize the futures we want and deserve.
