FIF Series EP 82 - Personal Futures Mapping

Personal Futures Mapping provides tools to visualize possible futures and align daily decisions with long-term goals in an era of unprecedented change and complexity. This powerful approach helps you anticipate how broader shifts might affect your life, identify emerging opportunities, and prepare for potential disruptions to your career or industry.

• Understanding the Three Horizons framework: present reality (H1), long-term vision (H3), and bridges between them (H2)
• Connecting broader super shifts to your personal future through relevant implications
• Using visual tools like Futures Wheels, Scenario Matrices, and Timeline Mapping to explore possibilities
• Aligning daily decisions with long-term futures through decision filtering and skill portfolio development
• Navigating the emotional landscape of futures thinking by focusing on agency rather than prediction
• Creating small experiments to test assumptions and gather real-world data
• Scheduling regular review sessions to keep your futures map responsive to emerging developments

The future isn't something that just happens to you. It's something you actively shape through your awareness, choices and actions. Keep exploring, keep mapping, and as always, think forward.
