A note from the author: I first wrote this blog as the basis for a talk in the UK last year when the only thing worrying us was the "crisis' of Brexit. Now we’re facing some much more serious challenges – and yet the inventive responses from communities trying to think outside the box suggests that the core themes do hold up and may offer us some hope during these troubled times.

What is a Collapse Scenario? Let’s take a step back and dig a little deeper into the theory behind Futures Studies and Futures Design in order to contextualise “scenario” and “collapse”. Scenarios are one of the backbones of Strategic Foresight and Futures Studies.

Most innovation work proceeds independently from company strategy. As a result, the products that arrive in the market are not well aligned with the company’s goals. This challenge is particularly significant in organizations with transformation-oriented strategies, where innovation must directly support growth, scalability, and strategic pivots.

When bringing people together to solve problems with design thinking, there may be more benefits to going remote than you think. Face-to-face design thinking workshops can be amazing.

The number of people who work from home has been growing at a steady pace for years.
