6
7. Research, synthesize, analyze, baseline
STEP 1: LAYING THE FOUNDATION
• Determine your client’s needs
• Leverage quality futures work
• Avoid duplication of effort
• Identify historic trends,
attractors, and barriers
• Dig deep into specific topics
7
8. STEEP
Identify, collect and analyze information
Categorize stakeholder interests
Identify implications
Understand relationships
SOCIAL
TECHNICAL
ECONOMIC
ENVIRONMENT
POLITICAL
8
9. ANALYZE TRENDS AS POTENTIAL CONVERGENTS
Plan/Trend Social Technical Environmental Economic Political
Organizational
Description
Vision/Goals/
Objectives
Organizational
Needs
Stakeholder
Desires
Early Warning
Monitoring
Can be used to identify forces
that affect needs categories
Replace with your own needs for studying the future
9
10. STEP 2: CHANGE THE FRAME
• Reveal client biases
and assumptions about future
• Organizational
• Technological
• Values
• Establish system
interrelationships
• Move into the future
Open, broaden, challenge, model

• Challenge expert assumptions/
biases
• Engage real world complexities
• Paint the range of futures

12. STEP 4: TELL STORIES
• Develop a range of
scenarios using STEEP
• Radical success/failure
• Probable, preferred,
undesired
• Illustrative
• Explore wild cards (+/-)
Context, relations, immersion

13. STEP 5: LIVE AND WORK IN THE FUTURE
• Work through the implications
and impacts of each scenario
• Highlight possible unintended
consequences (+/-)
• Select preferred future (your
vision)
Implications, impacts, vision
13
14. STEP 6: WALK BACK TO TODAY
• Backcast a strategy and
roadmap to your preferred
future
• Don’t abandon your client
(or yourself) in the future
• Futures investment is
wasted if you don’t“walk
back to today”
Milestones, indicators, early warning signals

This is great stuff
in 2025, but what
do I do about it
this afternoon?
15
16. STEP 7: SHAPE THE FUTURE

• What should be
done today?
• Reposition, plan, change,
invest
• Monitor the future
as it unfolds
• Process, system, or Center
• Think big, start small,
scale

20. DESIGN THINKING STEPS
Diving deep to really understand and meet client needs
Detect insights into human-centered problems
Craft initial solutions—quickly
created, tested, refined and
produced
20
21. FORESIGHT AND DT
DT answers three fundamental questions—What is:
21
desirable? feasible?
viable?
human
perspective
technical viewpoint
business reality
22. FORESIGHT AND DT
Foresight answers three fundamental questions—
What could be:
22
desirable? feasible?
viable?
social trends technical trends
business trends
26. BE AN EMPATHETIC INTERVIEWER
26
• You are interviewing for understanding
• Not for sales, marketing, or compliance
26
desirable? feasible?
viable?
human
perspective
technical viewpoint
business reality
• Start here
• Go under the casual
statements
27. 5 WHYS
Client wanted a study of the future of Geographical
Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems,
and Remote Sensing
5 Whys
1. Understand how these three related to each other
2. Identify and understand trends and forces affecting these
3. See how the systems could be hacked, manipulated or misused
4. Understand ways to understand the implications
5. Justify funding to prevent or mitigate against the manipulations
27
Never asked about my needs
28. SOME APPROACHES
28
• Why questions
• Weather conditions questions
• And:
• Short questions (no yes/no),
• Attentive listening
• No arguing
• Acceptance of silence while the interviewee thinks
• Capturing everything (interviewer and a recorder)
• Ensuring anonymity
29. SOME POTENTIAL FRAMING QUESTIONS
29
• Why is the future important to you?
• How do you plan for the future?
• When you think about the future, what kinds of
information do you need?
• How have you used information like this?
• Tell me a story about a time you were surprised by
something important that happened and affected you.
• How could you have known this surprise was coming?
• How did this surprise make you feel?
• So, in looking at the future, what sorts of things do
you think you need to know?

future?
• What are some key unknowns?
• What are some recurring patterns in the answers?
• What stories of the future would benefit the client?

34. FOR WHOM ARE WE DESIGNING AND
FORESEEING?
• Personas help
focus on the
individual
• Creating a story for
the story
• Generally have
multiple personas
for a project
34
35. WHY SCENARIOS?
• Identify the factors needed for better decisions
• To reframe to see new patterns
• To recognize new combinations and options (like
innovation)
35
36. SCENARIOS ARE
• Stories of the future
• Not predictions
• Future context for future decisions
36
37. SCENARIOS AND STORYTELLING
• A story about the future
• May be useful for forecasting
• Most utility when scenarios span alternative
futures
• Engages stakeholders in dialogue and
decisions
37
38. SCENARIOS AND STORYTELLING
• Two types
• Descriptive—integration and extrapolation of
trends
• What “will” be
• Prescriptive—extrapolation of desires
• What you want it to be
• Two frameworks
• Historical
• Synthetic
• Many possible formats
38
39. PROTOTYPE
Make something tangible that clients can interact with
or use to understand how the future might unfold.
• Low cost, easy to make—demonstrates ideas
• Rudimentary storyboards with cartoons
39
40. PROTOTYPE
• Could be as simple as grouping
post-it notes to capture ideas
into scenario themes
• Group them by:
• STEEP category
• Major drivers, like energy
costs or demographics
• Details can be specific or
metaphorical
40
41. USING YOUR RESEARCH AND INSIGHTS
41
• Empathetic interviewing
• Persona construction
• Design challenge—scenario topic
• 127 Trends
Please build your prototype scenario

44. SNAPSHOT SUMMARY
Foresight is the art of:
• Understanding your own assumptions and
biases
• Being willing to look beyond those
• Stepping outside your comfort zones
• Collecting trends information
• Looking for weak signals and clues
• Understanding through stories
• Pulling out the implications
• Identifying action for today
44
45. SNAPSHOT SUMMARY
Design Thinking aids Foresight:
• By helping to better understand client needs
through empathetic interviewing and
listening—human-centered
• Helps overcome foresight practitioner
biases
• Refines client needs
• Offers low-cost, quick ways to get feedback
and align solutions with needs

47. STRESS TEST
47
• To prevent infatuation—we often fall in love
with our products
• To make sure we are addressing the real
needs—we often let our biases get in the way
• To save resources—fail early, fail cheaply
48. CONSIDER YES-AND
• When a team member starts to criticize, suggest the
person use the improv technique of “yes-and,” rather
than “yes-but”
• For example:
The person who downgrades the idea of using a
smartphone to create architecture designs (“yes, but it is
too small”) is motivated to say,
“Yes and it could wirelessly connect to a 3-d printer to
see the architecture idea quickly and in 3-d!”

Combining traditional futures techniques with
complementary, creative DT:
• Provides tools for more fidelity in understanding
client desires and needs
• Enables futurists to craft more feasible solutions and
designing more viable business models at reduced
costs
• Allows fast feedback from clients
