Today we're in Rotorua!

It's great to be with the volunteers of @FireEmergencyNZ opening their biennial conference.

We're already having a great morning talking about "What the future isn't..."

Taking our futures and foresight workshops to the next level for our clients.

@FuturesWeCreate Thank you, but actually me quoting Ged Davis, “A trend is a trend is a trend… until it bends.”

We've still got a couple of places available for our "Creating Transformational Futures" one-day masterclass in Wellington on the 23rd of November.

If you want to explore the future and challenge your thinking while learning some new tools, it's going to be a great day. 👇

[We Create Futures @FuturesWeCreate]

If you are Wellington-based and want to explore Transformational Futures with us - check out the website for more information.

Please share with anyone who wants to challenge their thinking using futures and foresight.

There is so much talk about 'transformation'.

But can we create it through structured approaches?

At the end of this month we'll be addressing this question in our one-day workshop - Creating Transformational Futures.

If you're in Wellington, it's going to be an epic day. 👇

[We Create Futures @FuturesWeCreate]

Come and join us in Wellington next month for Creating Transformational Futures - our one-day masterclass.

[Chris Jackson is on Substack. @strategy_chris]

What does it take to create transformation and not merely extend the status quo?

How do we approach the challenges of the present with fresh eyes?

We answered these questions earlier this year during our talk at the Mindset of Design Festival with @CreativeHQ

@refuturing @frankspencer @Cekent @LaMarimer @futuristpaul @cascio @mrtuckerbaum @aamostaylor @CalderStrat @Leah_Zaidi I think Discord would be the best for conversation and sharing that more people can connect to .

BUT

It relies on people joining a group and misses the serendipity that twitter creates.

Definitely watching intently to see how this all unfolds.

What does it take to create transformational futures?

Earlier this year we were at the Mindset of Design Festival in Wellington.

We opened the week with a keynote, facilitated a workshop and hosted a panel.

A video of our talk is now on the WCF website. 👇

There's also a transcript so you can read it if you're more inclined.

Thanks to our friends at @CreativeHQ for the photos from the day.

Thanks also to everyone that participated, listened and asked us questions.
