Futures Wheels Template

Futures Wheels Template

The output of this template is a landscape of potential threats and possibilities along with a strategic mindset that is resilient, adaptive, and transformative.

While it’s fun to think creatively about the future without any limits, it can also be challenging without a structure or framework, especially if you’re not a futurist by trade. We wanted to make a version of Futures Wheels for strategists, professors, analysts… anyone who wants to think proactively 10+ years out. 

TFSX’s version of Futures Wheels is designed using the STEEP framework. STEEP is an acronym that describes the macro environment which Strategic Foresight operates within holistically. STEEP stands for Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, and Political. We call this version of the tool “Drivers Wheels” because STEEP represents drivers of change. It’s easier to imagine implications when we consider an issue’s impacts on society, technology, the economy, and so forth.
