Radical New Narratives

A way to make a vision tangible so that others can really understand it and become part of shaping that future.

Purpose of this tool:

This tool will help you develop radical ideas using speculative design techniques. Through this process you will be able to test and learn what resonates, as well as build further mission allies by inviting them into the future that you are trying to create.

Why this tool is important:

Shifting a system is difficult and requires sustained effort. Visualising ideas and making the emerging system feel more tangible will not only help you test your assumptions and grow ideas, but also help others to understand your vision better and contribute their ideas. Plus, it is a great way of generating excitement about what is possible.

What you need to begin:

Before starting, consider what system-shifting ideas you would like to test. You may want to refer to the ‘macro’ section of your Portfolio of Ideas for inspiration.
