What can you expect?
Looking ahead is looking back and creatively anticipating what is to come. And that's exactly what you'll do in this workshop!
Using theory about what 'exploring the future' is and inspiration from pioneers in the sector, you will work on four scenarios for cultural organizations in 2035. In groups, you will visualize what these mean for your offerings, audience, and business model in 10 years.
Which future is most desirable, and are you prepared for other outcomes? What do you need to do today to achieve this?
What will you learn?
1. Scanning signals and trends
The importance of scanning signals and trends that indicate change and how to systematically map these for your organization.
2. Recognizing patterns and giving meaning
Looking for patterns behind the signals and trends that are important to you. Which major uncertainties will influence your organization?
3. Creating and exploring future scenarios
Based on the major uncertainties, you can formulate scenarios yourself. In the workshop, DEN has already done this for you, and you will start working with them directly.
4. Translating scenarios to the present and turning them into actions
How do you translate the insights from the scenarios into new experiments and strategic choices in the present so that you anticipate possible futures instead of reacting?
"Even in a scenario that initially seemed dystopian to me, we gradually found opportunities and solutions during the discussion. When you let go of the fear of the future, you see a beautiful path."
Results
After the workshop, you will have:
- Knowledge of the methodology of exploring the future and understand its importance.

"I want to thank you once again for the valuable session we experienced with you. It has been a while, but still. Some documents are pinned to my bulletin board, and we continue to discuss them internally."
