The challenge
Your team is too busy to think strategically
Day-to-day demands crowd out the space for big-picture thinking. When strategy sessions do happen, they often lack the stimulus to generate genuinely new ideas - falling back on familiar assumptions and the same tired debates.
- Teams struggle to move beyond their current frame of reference
- Workshops feel flat - the same voices, the same conclusions
- Opportunities get missed because no one is looking far enough ahead
The solution
A structured way to unlock fresh, strategic thinking
The Law 2035: Illustrated Futures Cards give facilitators everything they need to run energising, productive strategy sessions - with stimulus that genuinely shifts perspective.
Provoke fresh thinking
Carefully curated stimulus cards challenge assumptions and surface ideas teams wouldn't reach on their own.
Structured for results
A ready-made agenda and facilitator guide means you can run a high-quality session without weeks of preparation.
Leave with real actions
Built-in exercises help teams prioritise what they've discovered and translate insight into clear next steps.

What a session looks like in practice
Teams typically run a 90-minute session using the Law 2035: Illustrated Futures Cards as stimulus. Participants explore a spread of possible futures, debate the most disruptive scenarios, and agree on the strategic priorities that deserve attention now.
The result: a shared language for the future, a prioritised opportunity map, and a set of actions the team has co-created and genuinely owns.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who is this for?
This toolkit is designed for leadership teams, strategy leads, and internal facilitators who want to run engaging futures-thinking sessions - no specialist training required.
How long does a session take?
A standard session runs for around 90 minutes, though the toolkit is flexible enough to fit into a half-day or full-day strategy offsite.
Do we need a trained facilitator?
The guide is written so that any confident team lead can run the session. We also offer an optional trainer briefing for those who'd like extra support.
Can it be run remotely?
Yes - the toolkit includes notes on running the session virtually, with digital versions of the materials available on request.
Who it's for
Built for the teams shaping what comes next
Law 2035 works across a wide range of teams and contexts - wherever there's a need to think more boldly about the future.
Leadership & executive teams
Senior leaders use Law 2035 to open up strategy conversations that go beyond the immediate business plan - exploring how shifts in technology, regulation, and society could reshape their market over the next decade.
Strategy & innovation teams
Strategy directors and innovation leads run Law 2035 sessions as part of annual planning cycles, horizon scanning exercises, or innovation sprints - using the cards to stress-test assumptions and identify emerging opportunities before competitors do.
Facilitators & consultants
External facilitators and management consultants add Law 2035 to their toolkit to deliver high-value strategy offsite sessions. The ready-made structure means less prep time, while the card-based format generates richer, more generative client conversations.
L&D & leadership development
Learning and development professionals use Law 2035 as part of leadership programmes to build futures literacy - helping managers at all levels develop the habit of thinking in longer timeframes and broader systemic contexts.
Why futures thinking is now a core strategic skill
Strategic foresight - the practice of exploring plausible futures to inform better decisions today - has moved from the edges of corporate strategy into the mainstream. Organisations that once relied on five-year plans and linear projections are now grappling with a pace of change that makes traditional forecasting inadequate. Futures thinking offers a different approach: rather than predicting what will happen, it maps out a range of scenarios that could happen, and helps teams prepare for each of them.
Scenario planning, horizon scanning, and futures literacy are now recognised competencies in high-performing leadership teams. The challenge is that most organisations lack a simple, repeatable way to practise them. Strategy away days often default to reviewing last year's performance rather than genuinely exploring the landscape ahead. The Law 2035: Illustrated Futures Cards were designed to solve exactly that problem - giving teams a structured, stimulus-rich format that makes futures thinking accessible without requiring specialist expertise.
The cards act as provocations. Each one presents a plausible development in the legal, regulatory, technological, or societal landscape - drawn from real signals of change already visible in the world today. Teams use them to ask: what would this mean for us? What opportunities would it open? What risks would it create? That conversation - grounded in specific, concrete scenarios rather than vague generalisations - is where genuine strategic insight tends to emerge.
The result is a team that has not only identified new strategic priorities, but has developed a shared language for talking about the future. That shared understanding - built through the session rather than handed down from above - is what tends to make the difference between strategy that sits in a deck and strategy that actually changes how people work.
