Open Source Futures #9 - Axes

Building the scenarios

• economic axes

  • market ideologies?

  • state-society partnership (the Mazzucato stuff)

• Environment

  • How much change?

  • environmental consciousness?

Look out for things with impact and uncertainty

• ideologies often fall into this category

Create Axes

• look for things with impact and uncertainty

Use tweets or newspaper headlines to make the scenarios come alive

Have the facilitator game going to guide people through the process

Another way to construct scenarios is to use Dator's Four Futures

• Business As Usual

• Collapse

• Discipline
