Scenarioplanning

For over a million years we lived as hunter-gatherers in small family groups, for thousands of years we lived as farmers in small villages, for 200 years we lived in cities and built industry. Now we live globally in a world that is changing faster every day than ever before through new ideas and technologies.

Sickness and mortality? Scarcity of material goods? Humans as the most intelligent beings? How very 20th century!

Our history has not prepared us for these changes, Our cultures, ideologies and religions provide no answers to many of the new questions we are faced with. Trying to impose old world views or ways of doing things on a new world is a recipe for failure, whether you are a company, government or individual.

Technology is moving at an ever increasing rate of development, and just a few years from now, we'll be exponentially more informed and equipped than we were in all of human history.

In opdracht van stichting Digitaal Erfgoed Nederland werkte Gendo mee aan een film over digitaal erfgoed in 2035. Deze film is op de DEN conferentie getoond om het lange-termijn denken in de sector aan te wakkeren. Hieronder de film en het door ons geschetste toekomstscenario.

Voor een van onze bancaire klanten hebben wij deze film gemaakt die gebruikt wordt als discussie aanjager bij brainstormsessies die de bank met haar klanten heeft. Het is een zeer verkorte weergave van het soort presentaties die wij regelmatig verzorgen in allerlei sectoren waarbij in dit geval speciale aandacht is voor de relatie tussen technologie en economische groei.
