Something I often hear from international practitioners is that they want more access to futures tools - to find out what’s new, what’s working and how it might work for them.

That’s one of the reasons I created this podcast - to “spread the word” about the amazing things happening in the futures space globally, and to share my interpretation of how each tool might be used in a workshop setting.

We’re in deep at this point! While episode one (and all our interview episodes) are designed to be enjoyed by the general listener, the workshop episodes like this one are aimed squarely at practitioners and facilitators who might benefit from hearing the tools used in practice.

If you’ve signed up to The Futures Workshop out of a general interest in futures thinking, feel free to skip these alternate episodes. But if you are somebody who works with groups (or aspires to), I’m hoping these imagined workshops will be a unique and useful sessions to listen in on.

As I mention in the episode, this is an experiment! We’ll keep tinkering with the format in the hope we can create something genuinely valuable for futures practitioners around the world. Your feedback is very welcome throughout - thank you for your support of episode one and we hope you enjoy this follow up on Bill Sharpe’s Three Horizons framework.
