Stage 3. Designing Strategy
The final stage of futures work ties the future to the present through the development of a strategic roadmap that can lead you toward your future vision. This section provides some basic methods for developing a long-term roadmap and explains how to set up measurements of success across time, tasks, and deliverables. Futures work is inherently speculative to some degree and can be dismissed as a thought exercise unless you commit a strategic plan to execute on your vision or North Star.

-
How to use backcasting, a method to kick-start roadmap planning
-

-
