ABSTRACT
This chapter provides an example of the kind of tools or heuristics that can be deployed in designing and implementing Futures Literacy Labs and other collective intelligence knowledge creation processes. Collective intelligence knowledge creation processes can be used to improve the wellbeing of societies. Positive Futures provides a bridge between compatible approaches and paradigms: first, by using wellbeing and the future together and second, by combining expert knowledge and participatory approaches. From the experience of successful local wellbeing processes in other countries and using insights from the change management literature Positive Futures – Forum for Frankfurt was developed. The process was led and coordinated by the non-profit think tank Center for Societal Progress. The process was implemented by a team of volunteers with different experiences ranging from process design, networking, analysis and web-design all the way to writing. The design of the process included four core elements such as, dialogue, visions, indicators, and actions.
