Explore Future Scenarios with the Impact Lab method (by Monnik)

We are very excited to open our SDS stage to the amazing guys from Monnik - an Amsterdam based strategic think tank and futurology studio (www.monnik.org). Read below what program they have prepared to teach you through hands-on exploration.

From Edwin & Christiaan (Monnik founders):
In this meetup we will introduce to you a new method we have developed - the Impact Lab.
During an Impact Lab, strategic insights are obtained by confronting participants with, and immersing them in, an inspiring, relevant and conceivable future scenario. It is a speculative way of working that helps organizations to strategically position themselves in a changing world.

During the meetup, we’ll shortly introduce our practice Monnik, a strategic think tank and futurology studio based in Amsterdam. We will explain the Impact Lab methodology and we’ll dive straight into a condensed version of it. Meaning we’ll immerse you in a future scenario through storytelling and will provide you with an Impact canvas that will guide you through answering what this scenario will mean for the future and for today.

After the condensed Impact Lab experience we would like to discuss this format with you, since it is still in development and we hope to learn from your insights in order to improve it. Figuring out what worked and what didn’t. How it could be improved and in what ways it could connected to (your own) existing practices and methods. But also for which particular cases and clients this method would be of interest.
