About Design Futures Strategy Card Decks

Design Futures Strategy Card Decks is a digital platform offering three interactive strategy card decks for experienced strategists and foresight professionals. The platform features 92 interactive cards across Futures Thinking (36 cards), Ecosystem Building (37 cards), and Behaviour Change (19 cards). The Futures Thinking Cards synthesise proven frameworks from leading futurists including Amy Webb, Tony Wood, Ray Kurzweil, Tony Seba, Daniel Burrus, Kevin Kelly, Sohail Inayatullah, Jim Dator, Bill Sharpe, Joseph Voros, and 20+ other methodology sources. Key frameworks operationalised include Three Horizons Framework, Causal Layered Analysis, Futures Cone, STEEP Analysis, Scenario Planning, Dator's Four Futures, CIPHER Method, Backcasting, Wind-Tunnelling, and Pre-Mortem Analysis.

The four phases of the Futures Thinking deck are: Scanning (sensing signals, trends, and deep forces shaping change), Imagining (constructing multiple alternative futures using proven scenario methodologies), Stress-Testing (wind-tunnelling strategies against multiple futures to build resilience), and Foresight Mindsets (the cognitive postures that effective foresight practitioners cultivate). Features include a Session Builder workspace, a Glossary of 32 foresight terms, and PDF Export for workshop facilitation.
