Futures Literacy Labs FAQs

Question 1

How is FLL different from traditional scenario planning?

Accepted Answer

Traditional planning seeks to prepare for or predict a specific future, whereas FLL is a metacognitive exercise designed to transform the participant's capacity to imagine many different futures.

Question 2

What is the primary goal of a Futures Literacy Lab?

Accepted Answer

The goal is to develop the skill of 'using the future' to innovate in the present, moving beyond prediction to reveal how our current assumptions limit our perceived options.

Question 3

Does this skill help with decision making?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. By expanding the 'imagination space,' it surfaces new options and models (like community land trusts or alternative identity frameworks) that were previously ignored.

Question 4

Can I use this skill for individual reflection?

Accepted Answer

Yes, while FLL is designed for collective intelligence, the structured steps of revealing and reframing assumptions can be effectively applied to individual strategic thinking.

Question 5

What are 'baseline assumptions' in this context?

Accepted Answer

Baseline assumptions are the unconscious 'common sense' beliefs we hold about the future, such as the inevitability of economic growth or the fixed nature of cultural identity.
