The Scope Wheel helps you sort your signal research into which ones are most related to your futuring subject.
Instructions
- Once you have collected signals of change and trends, sort them into categories:
- Social
- Technological
- Environmental
- Economic
- Political
- Legal
- Ethical
- If you are missing signals/trends for any category, search for them
- Place your sorted signals/trends into the relevant categories on the Scope Wheel:
- Place the signals/trends that directly impact your futuring subject into the PRIMARY ring
- Place the signals/trends that indirectly impact your futuring subject into the SECONDARY ring
- Place the signals/trends that aren’t related to your subject but which might impact it into the TERTIARY ring
- You can now see which signals/trends are most important to your subject across the categories, ensuring these are prioritised when mapping scenarios
