“The future is inherently uncertain, but futures thinking tools can help people navigate that uncertainty and chart the path ahead. ”
Capita and KnowledgeWorks have developed a toolkit based on futures thinking, a discipline that can help empower leaders to shape the future and resist the notion that it is out of our control.
For children and families to flourish in the future, the people who aim to serve them need to take an honest look at how their systems operate today, articulate bold aspirations for the future, and chart a path toward that vision.
Our futures toolkit contains instructions, examples, and templates for three futures thinking methods that can be used by anyone who wants to create powerful long-term change for children and families.
Each tool can be applied to an entire system, to an organization such as a specific child care center or network, or even to a single program or initiative. Any topic that has a current reality and possibilities for the future can be examined using these tools.
