Tried and tested offerings for workshops, engagements, and speaking, all designed to help you work with uncertain futures thinking in a structured way. I run all sessions myself, in Swedish or English, for strategy teams, leadership groups, and public audiences.
Most futures exercises produce clever gadgets. Design Fiction produces futures that have to make sense for actual people.
This suits you if…
You're going into a strategy or creative process and you want participants to be genuinely comfortable with uncertainty. With Design Fiction you become comfortable with uncomfortable futures.
Some of your people are protecting what works now. Others are pushing for what they want to change. They're both right, and they're talking past each other.
This suits you if…
Your organisation is going through real change — new leadership, a merger, a sector shift — and people have stopped agreeing on what matters.
One issue. Two groups. By approaching the issue from opposed points of view we create a conflicting description of the scenario with multiple levels of consequences and knock-on effects. What you find in the overlap is what you couldn't have found any other way.
This suits you if…
You want your team to have genuinely argued a future to thrash out both opportunities and threats before you commit to a position on it.
Your sector is shifting and you can feel it. This session names what's moving and maps what it means for decisions you're making now.
This suits you if…
Your team has very different pictures of what the external environment looks like. You need a shared map before you can plan together.
You know where you want to end up. This session maps what needs to happen to get there.
This suits you if…
Your organisation has agreed on a long-range goal but it keeps getting pushed aside by short-term demands. You need the goal operational, not aspirational.
A talk for events that want to leave people with a different relationship to uncertainty — not more anxiety about what's coming, but a practical way of thinking about it.
This suits you if…
You're running a conference, kick-off, or management event and you want something that actually shifts how people think, not just what they know.
You want to run futures sessions yourselves? A one day Method Lab gives you a basic understanding of a foresight model from a facilitators point of view, giving you a start on exploring it in your work
This suits you if…
You want to build internal futures capability rather than depend on a external facilitator.
