We venture into territory many futurists avoid: the darker sides of our potential futures and why exploring dystopian possibilities is a crucial component of comprehensive futures thinking.
• Psychological discomfort and professional incentives often prevent us from exploring negative futures
• The COVID-19 pandemic showed how avoiding challenging scenarios ensures we're unprepared when they happen
• Exploring dark futures enhances resilience, helps identify warning signals, and reveals unexpected opportunities
• Balanced scenario development should include both challenging and opportunistic versions of possible futures
• Psychological resilience can be built by framing exploration as preparation, focusing on agency, and using temporal distancing
• Convert dark futures exploration to strategic advantage by identifying vulnerabilities and creating early warning systems
• Even in difficult futures, opportunities exist to create value and positive impact
• The most resilient organizations aren't those who avoid challenges but those who face them directly
We challenge you to identify one important area where you might have a strategic blind spot, apply the "what could go wrong" template, and take one concrete action to build greater resilience.
