We live in a spectrum, not a binary world. Too often, we think of the future as if there is only one type for all of us to inhabit. Futures work often attempts to neatly categorize potential futures and set boundaries on the ways we might live. However, we know from our current lives that one person’s vision is vastly different from another’s. Someone could be living in a positive future, while someone else might be living in the present or even a negative future.

The Revolution Factory is a firm that helps you navigate the future. We utilize a number of established and our own proprietary methods to offer an AI-Powered Futures Operating System that we call the “Futures OS” (trademark pending).

Leveraging a Breakthrough Approach to Navigating the Future: The Spectrum Futures Method

The possible futures we explore could exist simultaneously across a spectrum, where the plurality of the future is more tangible than we imagine. Through over 20 years of applied futures work, Steve has tested and iterated on a futures approach called the “Spectrum Futures Method” (SFM).

​This groundbreaking approach presents principles and tasks, which include spectrum scanning for signals and trends, spectrum scenario building, spectrum futures design, and spectrum backcast strategy. It allows you and your organization to navigate a spectrum of potential futures while simultaneously living in many of them.

Navigating the Future with the Futures Operating System or Futures OS ™

Exploring possible futures takes a great deal of work, and to assist in those efforts, we have created what we call our Futures Operating System or FuturesOS(tm). We utilize methods like the SFM and other techniques along with our AI-powered Futures Software to empower your organization to navigate the future.

In the coming months we will be providing more details and training to help you use our Futures OS to navigate the future.
