Innovations in Crowd Sourced Scenario Planning: Futurescraper
Futurescaper
Futurescaper uses a Wikipedia-style approach to collect trends and weak signals. It was designed to explore specific questions about the future through a structured, online data entry form. It soon became clear that it was actually more useful at dumping a ton of apparently unrelated data into the system, coding and tagging it, and then seeing what patterns emerged.
Futurescaper: An Overview
What it is
- A system for collecting and exploring trends and factors and integrating them into emergent themes and issues.
- A structured mechanism for collecting input and data from a distributed, loosely connected groups of participants.
- An inductive way of generating scenario themes and logics that doesn’t require deductive, 2×2 grids, lots of interviews or workshops, or a very big budget.
What it isn’t
- An opinion survey, a prediction market, an ideation tool or an ideas contest.
- A scenario narrative generation engine.
- Very social or fun.
Not sure if it or isn’t yet (but I doubt it)
- A collective debating platform
- A consensus-building platform.
