Masterclass

Designing the Future—Building Future-Proof Businesses

Two-day workshop with Teresa Fischer and Marie Bossecker

Neo-ecology—a trend that forces companies to rethink their strategies in all areas of society. This trend is not only about sustainability, but about developing products and services around the world’s ecosystem rather than excluding it. Environmental awareness is evolving from an individual lifestyle to the basis of a new global identity, a “we” identity.

Where is the journey going, and how does it affect us?

In the two-day Designing the Future workshop, you will learn methods and tools to help you explore future trends and develop creative and user-centric solutions for companies and their brands. In a small team, you’ll apply what you’ve learned and develop a sense for how to react to mega trends in order to future-proof your business. Because only those who will adapt early and identify opportunities in mega trends will be able to positively shape the world we live in.

The Outcome.

Goal of the Seminar

You will learn to understand the impact of neo-ecology from a business, brand and user perspective.

First, we discuss the trend and its influencing factors, identify the needs of potential users and the respective brand, and outline initial future scenarios.

Based on this, we move on to idea generation. We use various creativity techniques and future thinking methods, develop a whole range of ideas, sort and group them, and finally select the most promising ones. We implement these in the form of rapid prototypes, making the future scenario tangible.

The think moto Branded Interaction Design (BIxD) process serves as a basic guideline for our future scenario exploration.

We reserve the right to postpone the date if not enough participants have registered until 6 weeks before. We are looking forward to seeing you!

What you will learn

  1. Discover: understanding users, business and trend

    You will get an onboarding to the megatrend neo-ecology. In a group, you will develop a Future Brand, Future Personas, and then develop future scenarios for them.

  2. Define: develop ideas

    Based on the insights from the Discover phase, we will use the method of the Futures Wheel to explore the primary and secondary effects of the Neo-Ecology trend on the Future Brand and, based on the insights, generate the first wild ideas, which will then be prioritized and evaluated.

  3. Design: designing the experience

    Now it's about making the selected idea tangible through a simple prototype. We'll provide you with approaches and come to an end with an outlook - To what extent can the collected experience be scaled and applied to your situation? What are the next steps?
