Futures mundane is a strategic partner and a lab for futures, policy, sustainability and technology. We work with governments and international organisations - and anyone with a societal mission.
We work with collectives and groups to amplify our work. As part of Falay Transition Design collective, we are bridging the gap in creativity for sustainability transformations. This includes work with collective imagination, futures prototypes and embodied methods.
We work together with
Futures
Futures do not just happen to us but we can have agency in creating them. Our attitudes, values, hopes and assumptions share the futures. Our actions and decisions today make futures happen. There are many futures, because futures happen unevenly.
Our approach to futures includes:
collective imagination and storytelling
experiental futures and future prototypes
futures bias and metanarratives
multispecies and non-human stakeholders
powers of ten and lenses
Our approach
Policy
Public policy processes and policy impact can benefit from design approaches and deep participation. Policy design is a framework and expertise that help policy makers design policies and policy delivery with evidence, participation, experimentation and creativity.
Our approach to policy design:
lived experience, qualitative research, ethnography, participation
mission-led, portfolio based
anticipatory governance and futures
innovation for policy process
capability building
Sustainability transitions
Sustainable and just futures are not just a technological challenge, but a social, economical and governance challenge. Transitions are systems level transformation from current dominant systems to emerging ones.
Our approach to sustainability transitions:
systems thinking and complexity science
multi-level model of system innovation
3 horizons
multispecies and non-human stakeholders
decolonisation and plurality
everyday life and cities
Technology
New technologies and digital transformation are shaping our organisations and societies. Yet, there is a gap between the hype and real impact. We are interested in technology innovation and data policy that have a social mission.
Our approach to technology:
data ecosystems
digital futures visions
experimentation
ethics in data and AI
intersection between enteprise architecture and service design
Strategic design
Strategic design works with complex systems. This can mean using design for organisational strategy, public policy or a phenonema level issue or a wicked problem.
Our approach to strategic design:
public systemic design
systems oriented design
strategy process
policy design
legal design
organisational design
