Use innovation to get future-ready

Moonshot Thinking

The world, our society, and your business are radically and rapidly changing - do you have the tools to visualise and prepare for the future? Do you find motivation and joy in ridiculously hard problems, welcome having your perspective challenged, and most importantly, delight in meeting people that think and dream big?

Visualise future trends. | Identify challenges. | Develop solutions.

Using our collective intelligence, we will map the challenges facing your organisation as it tries to meet those needs in a radically and rapidly changing world. You will experience a ground-breaking approach that draws on diverse disciplines and which is being used by only a handful of the most innovative organisations working on Moonshots today.

By the end of the workshop you will have gained the insights, tools and framework to visualise future trends and scenarios, identify key challenges that will affect your organisation and how to develop solutions to the big challenges that lie ahead. You will learn how emerging technologies and societal trends are impacting markets, society, and the environment.

Track Record

The methodology was first developed at Telefonica Alpha (Europe's only Moonshot Factory) where it was used to find and launch moonshots in the areas of learning, energy and health. Outside of Alpha we have taught this methodology to help a variety of organisations find moonshots - NGOs in the field of humanitarian action, government agencies in social policy, and corporations to meet the market needs of tomorrow.

Past participants from Corporate Universities have requested to be trained in the methodology to facilitate groups in future editions of the workshop and become ambassadors of future-thinking and innovation within their organisation.
