We were able to organise a scenario workshop with the parliamentary services of the Canton of Zurich to explore the question of what their work might look like in 2060. By analysing influencing factors, future assumptions and projections of existing developments, we developed various scenarios together with the employees.
A wide range of visions emerged in the groups, covering topics from digitalisation and politics to social interactions. A new mission statement for the coming years is now being formulated on this basis.
The added value of the workshop lies not only in the findings, but in the process itself. Participants learn to think long-term, develop innovative approaches and appreciate the importance of reflection when thinking about futures.
Futures experts and Dezentrum partners Ramona Sprenger and Stephan Hartmann led through the day and offered insights into the world of futures research with several in-depth presentations, providing inspiring food for thought that encouraged participants to look beyond their usual horizons and ask critical questions about shaping our future society
