IDEO Sessions
The power of futuring
Step into tomorrow before it arrives. Futuring is the practice of working with plurality—seeing signals, exploring multiple possibilities, and embracing uncertainty. It’s not prediction, but preparation: a way to challenge assumptions, unlock new directions, and chart meaningful paths forward. Because if you can imagine many futures, you can design the one you want.
Sessions, not workshops
Fundamentally Useful
IDEO Sessions aren’t a retreat from your most pressing challenges; they’re a fresh way in. We make sure your most critical priorities are woven into our time together.
Reliably Memorable
We prefer to talk less, and do more. That’s why each IDEO Session is a blend of inspiration, action, and reflection. The more fun you have, the more you’ll take home.
Refreshingly Rare
IDEO is not a workshop company. But we know the power of bringing senior teams together for amazing experiences. That’s why we offer Sessions, but only to a few.
