the mental framework
The past.
What happened?
Hindsight, learning from to past to identify factors that contributed to the outcome we already know, see and understand.
In this stage, we respond questions such as "What were the key factors that contributed to the success of our previous product launch?"
The present.
Why is happening?
Insights provides deeper understanding of the present and the immediate future, connecting seemingly unrelated information to gain a fresh perspective to uncover hidden truths, making sense of new powerful ideas, concepts and innovations.
In this phase, we respond questions such as how might we design a better experience for our clients?
The Futures.
What if?
The mindset behind the exploration of signals of change, possibilities and scenarios, driving critical speculations for innovations well-aligned with forthcoming changes and challenges, designing more relevant and successful strategies in the long run.
In this stage, we explore and debate questions such as What if we adopt new emerging technologies to boost our competitiveness in the next five years?"
