Futuring Tools For Today
NO NEED TO WAIT FOR THE FUTURE
In a recent futuring workshop, I guided Product Owners, UX Designers, Visual Designers, and senior management through futurising user personas to then innovate products to address their potential future needs.
Afterwards, we discussed how they might use these tools in their jobs today.
While these tools are used more by futurists and strategists in the diverge stage to help shape the design plan, they are adaptable and can be applied in multiple ways. The more these tools are discovered, the more they can be experimented with, and the more future-thinking can be applied to projects today.
