Exercises in Innovation #4: Fully test prototypes pre-launch. In this thought experiment, try to imagine every way that customers could use your product in the wrong way. Really let your imagination go, and it still may not be enough. Sometimes customers don’t know the truth, but other times they aren’t able to answer truthfully. The perfect example involves a company I met with that built an ingenious way to recycle water from hot showers in the home.

What is a Collapse Scenario? Let’s take a step back and dig a little deeper into the theory behind Futures Studies and Futures Design in order to contextualise “scenario” and “collapse”. Scenarios are one of the backbones of Strategic Foresight and Futures Studies. Methodologies may vary, but one of the things almost all of them have in common is that they base their strategies by building different future scenarios, with different uncertainties and variables.
