Academy / The Living Lab“Unlock your visionary mind. Become fluid, adaptive, and future-ready”
Designed as a foundational, self-paced program, our unique and ground-breaking Forward-Thinking Challenge Course guides you through a sequence of actionable challenges that help you build the foundation of adaptive and visionary skills (and mindset) that enable you to become a conscious designer and vision-led future shaper/creator.
You’ll move through four transformational stages:
UNBLOCK – as you break out of routine ‘autopilot’ thinking and begin to unlock mental flexibility to think differently (shifting from passive to proactive)
ADAPT – as you develop design fluency, creative problem-solving, and solution-focused muscles, as well as discover new opportunities and perspectives in everyday life
ENVISION – as you are introduced to our design thinking 3.0 process that helps you see and create original, needed solutions – with visionary thinking and real-world foresight (strengthening the habits of a future-ready, vision-led creator)
ACTIVATE – as you reframe challenges into meaningful opportunities and start building up your own vision (with more clarity and purpose) and/or begin to see how to apply these skills to a problem or a solution relevant to you (e.g. to improve a system in your work or community) – you’ll also realise by now that forward-thinking isn’t reserved for the few – it’s a skillset we can all develop to help shape the future somehow
The Course Flow
This self-paced, action-led course takes you on a step-by-step journey to build the adaptive and visionary mindset needed for conscious, forward-thinking.
Through a series of focused ‘Practices’, you’ll take on real-life, in-the-moment challenges (to apply what you learn right away in your conditioned setting).
Each practice focuses on a key topic area that progressively develops your forward-thinking mindset, including skills like creative problem-solving, adaptability, and critical thinking along the way – all essential for designing better ideas, lives, and solutions.
Whilst the course flows from one skill to the next, it’s also very useful to revisit ‘practices’ to refine your new skills, and to integrate them together towards your forward-thinking toolkit.
By the end, you’ll think more clearly, create with greater intention, and begin turning your ideas or vision into meaningful, confident action.
In today’s rapidly evolving world – where technology (especially AI) is transforming the landscape at lightning speed – our ability to adapt, think critically, and reinvent ourselves has never been more essential.
But while the world demands we change, much of society still encourages us to think in fixed patterns – follow the rules, stay safe, do what’s already been done. This creates a dangerous gap: many people and companies are stuck in routine – chasing attention and relevance, but using outdated systems and rigid ways of thinking to keep up.
However, the answer isn’t just to become an assistant to AI and not develop our human minds to think critically, but actually the opposite. The more fluid, conscious, and visionary we are in our thinking the easier we can adapt to the fast-changes happening around us, and become better at working out what we do (and don’t) need amongst all the noise.
This course helps you break free from autopilot and learn to think like a true future-shaper: someone who doesn’t just react to change, but leads it with intention, adaptability, and imagination.
Our Core Values
The Forward-Thinking Challenge Course is not just a course though; it’s a gateway to unlocking these essential future-proofed skills, that without may not only stifle our potential, but also our possibility of being able to help others by envisioning what people need (or will need) whilst solving current (and future) problems.
At the core of the course lies The Envisionary’s prime goal – to cultivate thinkers and doers who can continuously thrive to recognise problems and challenges, adapt dynamically to them, and innovate improved solutions for the betterment of humanity
