WKF Lab: Clues & Context
Clues & Context Practice Lab: Building Your Futures Thinking Muscles
60-minute live session | Rotating focus | All experience levels welcome
What This Is
Learning to think about the future in a productive, empowered way is like learning a new language. Which means it takes practice! Our monthly lab provides this opportunity to learn, collaborate and apply your knowledge as we explore the possibilities of the future and what they might mean for your clients.
This session is your opportunity to explore possibilities through data that's already around us today, and to consider what those clues might mean for the future.
We’ll work with curated signals of change to evaluate what's emerging, determine what matters, and build the pattern recognition skills that help you see the future in the present.
The more clues to the future you can spot around you, the more informed your decisions about the future become, and the more power you hold in shaping the future you want.
What You'll Practice
Signal identification & evaluation frameworks (blindspots + value discernment)
Collaborative sense-making with peers analyzing current signals
Confidence calibration (knowing what you know, what you don't, and what matters)
Professional communication (how to brief clients on emerging signals)
This session welcomes everyone:
First-time attendees building foundational futures thinking skills
Returning participants refining pattern recognition with new signals
Experienced practitioners maintaining fluency through regular practice
No two sessions are the same: Different signals, different lenses, and different peer perspectives means every quarter offers a new, interesting and practice-enhancing experience.
