A smart and fun decision-making workshop with Stormz (https://stormz.me/templates/100budgetgame). Add your own options and ask people to spend a virtual $100 budget on the options they like the most. Using money, even if virtual, gives a very interesting dynamic. By using Stormz, you will have direct and visual results of your vote-session. From 3 to a thousand participants.
The following activities are part of dance and theatre therapy methods and they are intended to explore body movements and create connections within the group.
It enacts LS Principle #9, Engage in Seriously Playful Curiosity.
A guided visualisation activity that is designed for deep life reflection and thinking about what truly matters to oneself, through future-oriented thinking.
A collaborative prioritization framework where teams apply the RICE scoring model (Reach, Impact, Confidence, Effort) to evaluate and rank ideas, projects, or initiatives.
This creative method invites participants to bring a possible future to life by designing or imagining a tangible object from that world. In the same way that we have historical artefacts from the past, this exercise is all about creating a tangible “artefact from the future.” It’s a way to make abstract scenarios feel real, prompting empathy, engagement, and grounded conversation.
Artefacts from the future can be run in a 2D or 3D approach.
When adopting the 3D approach, this method shifts participants into a making mindset. This engages their analytical thinking as well as intuition, improvisation, and embodied creativity. This helps surface insights that might not emerge through discussion or writing alone.
Developed by futurist Sohail Inayatullah, CLA is a cornerstone of critical futures thinking. It’s designed to support more inclusive, layered conversations by opening up not just what might happen, but why we imagine it that way.
This activity invites participants to look for weak signals, which are early signs of change that may shape the future. It helps build awareness of emerging trends, stimulates curiosity and encourages participants to notice what’s happening at the edges of the present.
A creative warm-up and visioning exercise that invites participants to imagine a future world or situation and describe what it feels like to be there. This approach helps surface early assumptions, hopes, and curiosities, while gently introducing the idea that the future can be imagined and shaped.
