The Futures wheel is an instrument for graphical visualisation of direct and indirect future consequences of a particular change or development. It was invented by Jerome C. Glenn in 1971, when he was a student at the Antioch Graduate School of Education.
Futures wheels are used to explore wide ranging consequences that can follow from actions, or trends in the present.
The Futures wheel is usually used to organize thoughts about a future development or trend. With it, possible impacts can be collected and put down in a structured way. The use of interconnecting lines makes it possible to visualize interrelationships of the causes and resulting changes. Thus, Futures wheels can assist in developping multi-concepts about possible future development by offering a futures-conscious perspective and aiding in group brainstorming.
