Into the Unknown: Designing New Futures

Every hero’s journey begins the same way: not with a destination, but with a threshold. A moment where the familiar no longer fits, and something new hasn’t yet taken shape. Many teams are living this reality right now: navigating reorganisations, pivots, and new strategic directions that often generate more fear than excitement.

This hands-on session explores how to use design skills to help coaches create the right conditions for new stories to emerge.
Through guided reflection, group roleplay, and creative exercises (no design experience needed), you will:
* Use metaphor to help teams name where they are in their journey
* Apply design-based frameworks to open up imaginative possibilities
* Uncover blind-spots when people switch channels from words to prototypes

By designing space for the unknown, we expand our coaching skills to include imagination, courage, and creative possibility.
