This document discusses the power of imagination and scenarios in thinking about plausible futures. It advocates using scenarios as a systematic way to think beyond current boundaries and visualize possible alternative futures. Scenarios can help broaden perceptions and provide contexts for decision-making by exploring what could happen rather than making definitive predictions about what will happen. The document contains examples of scenarios and encourages suspending judgment to think more openly about possibilities and alternatives for the future.
