About the workshop
In this workshop, we will explore why having a positive vision of the future is important, why our imagination having limits really helps, how to play again and to time travel, and we will learn what it looks like when we bring the future into the work we do today.

We need organisations that aren't afraid to ask big questions, be playful, to wonder “what if?”, to rethink everything.
This workshop with Rob offers a deep immersion in the radical imagination, using exercises and activities to flex our collective imagination muscles and to start building a cohort of people who feel excited about being the Imagination Catalysts bringing the big, bold, bright ideas.
