Complexity
Purpose of this tool: This tool helps you to imagine the world in 2050, giving you permission to be hopeful about the future and providing you with a North Star to work towards.
1–2 hours Why this tool is important: Articulating a future vision enables your team and wider stakeholders to think bigger than you may be used to. It means that your work will be focused on the big picture, driving towards a future in 2050 that turned out better than imagined, rather than on a narrow project outcome. By having this North Star, you will be encouraged to push your work further than you thought possible, and you will be reminded to zoom back out when faced with day-to-day challenges or pressures. What you need to begin: Time carved out with your team or wider stakeholders, and a volunteer to read the vision script.
