Futures Headlines Tool

Define the future time frame
Research potential future influences/risks to your product and sort them into groups (e.g. business, user, society, environment)
Ideate impacts of risks on each group (use the Futures Wheel)
Cluster into ‘trends’ and write a summary sentence of each
Choose the most interesting/relative trend summary from each group and rewrite them into provocative headlines
If needed, repeat for all themes
Use the headlines as prompts to innovate product features and/or strategy and to gain buy-in for their consideration
