People’s perspectives on an organisation’s past give them a limited view of the present. This has a strong influence on its future. The Future, Backwards method helps to widen these perspectives. The Future Backwards method is one of the primary workshop tools within The #Cynefin Co— and one of the most popular. It was developed initially as an alternative to scenario planning. It’s an effective alternative because it increases the number of perspectives that a group can take, when it comes both to understanding their past and to seeing the range of possible futures. Thus it can be used to:

We’re looking forward to our next Meetup with our members in our series on the 3As – Assemblages, Affordances, and Agency. We’ll continue to explore these 3As in the context of Estuarine Mapping, and how we can work with these concepts in practical and tangible ways. With the 3A’s we have a perspective that helps us to see the options for generative structuring for change in a system, and to share and discuss real-world examples to make these concepts practical.

The format Ian set for this was also good. I spent a day and a half training his team in Estuarine Mapping,
