FutureScribe

Imagine better futures through stories

The world needs your best ideas

Non-profits. Philanthropists. Businesses. Governments. UN agencies.

Racing ahead on the road to Net Zero? Fighting food poverty? Building a bold business or creating change in a community? If you're working for a better world, it's vital you get the best ideas from the people around you when developing a strategy.

Brainstorms are broken

But too often brainstorms and consultations fall flat — stifling people's creativity instead of unlocking it:

Some struggle to come up with innovative new ideas
Or have difficult communicating them to others
Many are scared to put forward bold suggestions
Too many end up checking out of the process
It's even harder in larger groups or online

Imagination
unlimited

With the FutureScribe approach, you can turn any idea into a story of the future - showing what could happen if that idea became reality.

Have fun – re-energise ideas sessions and consultations with a new approach
Inspire people – transport them into the future, opening people's eyes to new possibilities
Change the conversation – help people evaluate ideas more imaginatively and optimistically
Make ideas easy to understand – clearer, more accessible, more real
Motivate and engage – stories are universal, levelling the playing field so everyone can take part

Easily create stories with our Crystal Ball

Creating future stories is easy with Crystal Ball: our flagship digital tool shows your ideas come to life using words and pictures. All it takes is a few words of an idea to get started.

Use AI to quickly and easily generate a story — you stay in control, shaping the story the way you want. Or create a story from scratch yourself with our step-by-step editor.

In person, online — or both

Supported by our expert facilitation, you can involve everyone everywhere.

Collaborate in physical meetings
Engage people remotely online
Combine these in a hybrid approach

Support less confident or neurodivergent teammates by enabling people to contribute outside the room.
