The oracle results are often surprising, sometimes absurd, and rarely \u201cright.\u201d That is precisely where their strength lies: they open spaces for thinking and conversation. From an oracle prompt, questions, perspectives, and initial assumptions emerge \u2013 and thus a good starting point for developing scenarios and thinking through different futures, whether about technology, society, work, or organizations.<\/p>

A general, low-threshold version of the Futures Oracle is freely available on our website. <\/strong><\/p>

For workshops, events, or engagement with very specific questions, we also develop the oracle further on a topic-specific basis \u2013 as a personalized entry point into collective futures thinking in organizations or teams.<\/p>

If you ask our oracle about the future, you often get an absurd answer \u2013 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 \u2013 as inspiration or decision-making support \u2013 and what assumptions is it based on?<\/p>

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>
