Media Files=== Observing and mapping === The techniques in this section are designed to broaden and deepen insight into the present situation, context or environment that we wish to explore. These techniques may help distinguish constants from variables and move between micro and macro scales. They can help distil key questions, factors, facts and assumptions about the situations from which futures could arise. These techniques can be useful outside of futures practice as well, especially in situations where things may be too complex or messy to untangle in an unstructured conversation. * KPU(U) * Mapping and diagrams (affinity, clusters, mindmaps, force field analysis...) * Analogs (present->past) * Pace Layering (Brand) * Concentric circles (Fixed – Micro – Macro) * Causal Layered Analysis (CLA) * The art of powerful questions * Key factors (internal variables) * Success criteria * Dispatches from CQWGPlease fill all the letters into the box to prove you're human.
