Field Guide for Design Futures – 2026-01

I contributed thoughts and responses to how to use Design Futures techniques practically in reserach and commercial settings. The book is available for free here. 

“Most people don’t spend their time sitting around wondering what the future holds; they have other things to worry about. Instead of trying to get other people to care about futures, you need to care about them. How does better understanding of considering futures help them with their own problems? How can you make futures meaningful?
For instance, maybe a client is struggling with getting teams to collaborate; you might use a shared future vision to set a common mission or objective. Maybe another client is worried about their skills; what’s coming over the horizon that they might invest in now for future advantage?”
