Readings
One of the best ways to get people thinking about the future is to show
them what it could look like.

Visioning generates a common goal, hope, and encouragement; offers a possibility for fundamental change; gives people a sense of control; gives a group something to move toward; and generates
creative thinking and passion.
Why Now? Though low-fidelity prototyping has existed for centuries, it has recently become popular with the spread of agile design methodologies, inspired by several movements:
Design thinking advocates for “thinking with your hands” as a way to build empathetic solutions.
Lean startup relies on early validation and the development of a minimum viable product to iterate on.
User-centered design calls for a collaborative design process where users deliver continual feedback based on their reactions to a product’s prototype.

“ We like to spark discussion about future scenarios by trying to portray the evolution of key trends in the form of a vision video. Our team has been producing these publicly-facing videos for years, and the play a key role in our internal processes for identifying and designing experiments. We also use these videos for external communications and partner engagements. “ Microsoft Lab
We believe design can really make a difference. It helps envision a better future, but also makes those visions a reality. It lets us place people firmly at the center of everything we do. And it supports our passionate belief that we can help make the world healthier and more sustainable through a future we design together. Philip design manifesto
