New-Normal Under Construction Research

Uncertainties and opportunities in unprecedented times

Every aspect of life is now open for discussion. It has become clear that, to 
drive change for better, our society must develop organizational ambidexterity - the skill to deal with problems of the present anticipating futures scenarios.

This is the new-normal standards. In our research study, 
we dive into the uncertainties of today and the decade in order to understand how to best tackle them.

The research findings will be released weekly. Colored numbers indicate that chapters are available to download. Icons of padlocks mean that content is coming soon.

Subscribing to any chapter means that you are automatically able to receive the entire study to your email, including previous releases.

How to use this research

This document is the result of extensive research, trend mapping, first-person observations and endless debates. Everything was parsed, organized, discussed and prioritized through rigorous futures study methodology.

Our study aims to support anyone, especially leaders, to balance reflection and action for decision making in the present, with eyes on the possible futures.

Some parts of the content may appear quite dark, while others will sound unlikely. However, the true nature of this exercise is inviting you to ask yourself: “what if?”.

Signals

Traces of the future happening now.

Uncertainties

Clustered signals which are used to trace paths (polarities) toward the macro-territories.

Forecasts

Polarities reframed. A warning sign regarding to a specific unfolding within uncertainties and macro-territories.

Drivers of Change

A force forged by the combination of the items listed above, which can influence multiple futures paths.

Macro-territories

The major areas of complexity around which signals, uncertainties, and forecasts gravitate.

Futures Scenarios

Narrative descriptions about society, technology, and emerging issues in the world.
