What about the futurestate?
✘ Data
✘ Performance
✘ Competitors
✘ Customers
✘ Research
22
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
What about the futurestate?
✘ Data - blindspots everywhere
✘ Performance - retrospective
✘ Competitors - self-reflective
✘ Customers - shortsighted
✘ Research - focuses on averages
23
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Future success will not
come from being logical,
obvious or average, or
basing future strategy on
historic data.
24
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
You won’t find the future
in…
✘ Spreadsheets
✘ Canvases
✘ Your peers
✘ Your data
25
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Futurestate thinking
involves:
✔ Sparks, signals, forward indicators
✔ Creative, lateral thinking
✔ Adjacent influencers
✔ Potential customers
26
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Futurestate doing involves:
✔ Experiments
✔ Conversations
✔ Lateral design
✔ Agile methods
✔ Courage/wine
27
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
A few tips on how to
think…
28
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Always start with the ‘to’.
Do not do any current state analysis until
after you have envisioned your future.
29
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Think digital-first.
Assume 100% of your future customer
interactions are digital.
30
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Think about them.
Ban any reference to how you do
anything today, or what you have today.
31
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Think without
constraints(ish).
If you see that someone else is doing something
like it, assume it can be done by you.
32
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Imagine that you have to
compete with everyone.
The expectations of your future customers will
be set by the best they experience of anything.
33
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Get your head into the
future ‘new normal’.
Assume ‘that will never happen’ or ‘people will
never do that’ has happened.
34
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Think about how to
become an alternative to
yourself.
What future you would make you obsolete?
35
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020
Remember…
36
Wilson Fletcher @ WFD / Feb 2020 37
Thank you
