SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The 'futures' skill addresses the challenge of identifying the potential outcomes of a change or idea by constructing a multi-ring consequence wheel. This method reveals hidden opportunities and systemic effects that may be overlooked by linear thinking.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Ring Consequence Wheel: Traces 1st/2nd/3rd-order consequences from a central seed concept.
  • HSI Bridge Scan: Scans for hidden bridges across domains with the Human Social Interface (HSI) to uncover missed connections.
  • Opportunity Banking: Collects identified opportunities for further exploration or consideration.
  • Use Case: For strategizing and innovation in projects requiring deep analysis of cross-domain impact, like planning new products or evaluating potential business ventures.

Quick Start

Activate the futures skill by running '/mos:futures [seed-concept]'. This command generates a bounded multi-ring consequence wheel from the given seed concept.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map 2nd and 3rd-order consequences of a new product idea?

To map 2nd and 3rd-order consequences of a new product idea, generate a multi-ring consequence wheel using the Futures Wheel framework to trace systemic impacts from a central seed concept.

What is the best way to identify missed cross-domain opportunities during strategic planning?

The best way to identify missed cross-domain opportunities during strategic planning is to perform an HSI Bridge Scan across the consequence wheel to uncover hidden connections and collect them in an opportunity bank.

How does consequence mapping reveal unseen impacts for innovation projects?

Consequence mapping reveals unseen impacts for innovation projects by structuring multi-ring layers that detect non-linear systemic effects, preventing strategic planning from overlooking hidden outcomes.

Can I use the Futures Wheel framework to evaluate potential business ventures?

Yes, you can use the Futures Wheel framework to evaluate potential business ventures by analyzing cross-domain impacts and banking identified opportunities for structured decision-making.

Do I need a structured decision-making process to use foresight mapping?

Yes, foresight mapping requires a structured decision-making process to properly interpret the multi-ring consequence layers and apply the analytical view effectively to strategic planning.
