Not being able to predict the future does not mean that futures discussions are nonsense. What matters is: what purpose should a statement serve \u2013 as inspiration or decision-making support \u2013 and what assumptions is it based on?<\/p><p><strong>Anyone who wants to explore futures playfully and develop structured scenarios from them is welcome to get in touch with us at any time.<\/strong><\/p><p>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/schaltzeit.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>Contact us!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-239d0c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"239d0c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you actually start thinking about futures?
