workshop cludo

A compact rapid foresight workshop. Participants collect signals, identify the most relevant uncertainties, and build scenarios to discuss the present through the future.

The format translates futures thinking tools into an accessible sequence of questions, maps, and shared decisions.

Question

How can a group read a complex topic without rushing toward a single answer?

Context

Cludo was developed as an accessible foresight format. The future is not treated as prediction, but as a working surface: a way to reveal assumptions, tensions, weak signals, and possible decisions.

Process

How it was built

  1. 01

    Introduction to wicked problems and sensemaking through a non-academic language.

  2. 02

    STEEP exploration to collect social, technological, economic, environmental, and political shifts.

  3. 03

    Selection of two strong uncertainties and construction of a four-quadrant scenario matrix.

  4. 04

    Final discussion on what the imagined worlds imply for present decisions.

Outputs

What came out

  • Workshop format
  • Facilitation questions
  • Signal map
  • Scenario matrix
  • Four future scenarios
  • Implications discussion
A simple narrative threshold: closing the eyes and moving the conversation to 2050.

The board collects signals, axes, and connections that emerged from the group.

The work moves between individual moments, table discussion, and collective synthesis.

Why it matters

The value of the format lies in compression: in a short time, a group moves from fragmented contributions to a shared structure clear enough to guide a strategic conversation.
