We support organisations with workshops, expert input, research and active collaboration on digitalisation projects. We use future scenarios and speculative design to make potential developments tangible. We bring together expertise from science, design, business and technology and support transformation with communication and organisational development.
Identifying Opportunities
Research, White Papers & Potential Analyses
The Dezentrum team delivers high-quality research and white papers that enable organisations to shed light on a topic and make informed decisions. Our potential analyses help to identify opportunities at an early stage.
A workshop for organisations and administrations that highlights the opportunities, risks, challenges and limitations of generative artificial intelligence (AI).
Inputs & Panels
Our team members can be booked as experts for events or team occasions. There are various topics to choose from, or alternatively, a customised input on a desired topic is also possible.
Shaping the Future
Future Scenarios
The scenario technique breaks with linear forecasts by developing different visions of the future. This allows uncertainties to be structured, opportunities to be identified and strategic orientation to be gained. Thinking backwards from possible scenarios to the present gives rise to concrete options for action.
Speculative objects translate future scenarios into tangible forms. They serve as conversation starters, challenge habitual patterns of thinking and encourage discussion about possible developments. Their sensory presence opens up access to complex questions and new perspectives.
Future experiments test possible scenarios in the here and now. They create empirical values and open up spaces for joint design with different perspectives. When future scenarios are tried out, reflected upon and further developed, lively learning fields emerge for organisations and society.
We help convey content effectively. For example, with audio walks, events, games or simulations. This results in target group-specific formats that strengthen learning and participation experiences in the long term.
Dezentrum employs experts with many years of experience in science, design, communication, business and technology. We assist with the implementation of digitalisation projects and product development.
It is so important to have a good problem definition at the beginning of an experiment. I am more than satisfied with how concretely, clearly and neutrally the problem has been worked out by the Dezentrum.
