Dealing with deep uncertaintyWhat is deep uncertainty? And how can scenarios help deal with it? One of the ways we handle unknown unknowns is by using scenarios. Scenarios are stories about the future, meant to guide our decision-making in the present.
Art and participatory modellingWhat can art contribute to participatory modelling? Over the past decade, participatory visual and narrative arts have been more frequently and effectively incorporated into scenario planning and visioning workshops.
