Welcome to Metafuture - an educational think tank that explores alternative and preferred futures and the worldviews and myths that underlie them. Our approach to futures thinking and practice (theories, methods, tools and processes) is based on the "Six Pillars" model.
Futures Thinking and Strategy Transformation: Six Pillars
Mapping the Present and the Future - through methods and tools such as the futures triangle and the futures landscape.
Anticipating the Future - through methods such as emerging issues analysis and the futures wheel.
Timing the Future - understanding the grand patterns of change, macrohistory and macrofutures.
Deepening the Future - through methods such as causal layered analysis and multiple selves theory.
Creating Alternatives to the Present - through methods such as scenarios and nuts and bolts.
Transforming the Present and Creating the Future - through visioning, backcasting, anticipatory action learning and the transcend conflict resolution method.
We invite you to join us on a journey of better understanding and creating worlds to come!
