The oracle results are often surprising, sometimes absurd, and rarely “right.” That is precisely where their strength lies: they open spaces for thinking and conversation. From an oracle prompt, questions, perspectives, and initial assumptions emerge – and thus a good starting point for developing scenarios and thinking through different futures, whether about technology, society, work, or organizations.
A general, low-threshold version of the Futures Oracle is freely available on our website.
For workshops, events, or engagement with very specific questions, we also develop the oracle further on a topic-specific basis – as a personalized entry point into collective futures thinking in organizations or teams.
If you ask our oracle about the future, you often get an absurd answer – perfect for getting into conversation: how do we actually measure whether statements about the future are meaningful? Not being able to predict the future does not mean that futures discussions are nonsense. What matters is: what purpose should a statement serve – as inspiration or decision-making support – and what assumptions is it based on?
Anyone who wants to explore futures playfully and develop structured scenarios from them is welcome to get in touch with us at any time.
