FEATURED CASE STUDY
Future Sprint at
The Royal Society of Arts
Hosted at the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) in London, Future Sprint brought together a diverse mix of participants to learn, collaborate and design the future all 17 SDGs.

Results:
17 sessions over 17 days
112+ participants engaged
41 future concepts created, including (24 Future Posters)
98.5% of participants said they learned something new
96.9% said the Future Posters opened up new possibilities
100% said they would recommend Future Sprint to others

Key Observation:
People are not disengaged from the SDGs.
They simply lack:
a place to contribute their perspective
a structured way to imagine and capture solutions
a platform to connect and collaborate across disciplines

Future Sprint demonstrated that when those conditions exist,
people don’t just discuss the future, they design it together.

Where It Began

In May 2026, the Royal Society of Arts hosted the inaugural Future Sprint, bringing together Fellows, business leaders, UN representatives, students and changemakers to explore all 17 Sustainable Development Goals over seventeen days.


Participants collaborated in small teams to design future scenarios for how each goal could be achieved by 2030, creating visual Future Posters and presenting their ideas in short sessions recorded for publication and media.




The Future Sprint programme, led by Jordan Waid, Founder of The PRECOG Lab, using PRECOG future intelligence methodology, which combines cultural signal recognition, collaborative foresight and future scenario design.
