Exploring Futures with Creative Commons Canada

With members of Creative Commons Canada across the country, we led a one-hour remote visioning session to imagine a desirable future and identify opportunities to work toward it.

In December 2019, we led a one-hour remote visioning session for Creative Commons Canada. The session was meant as an introduction to the foresight visioning process to help members begin imagining how to align their work with possible futures. Generally, this process would be conducted over a longer period or serve as a starting point for working toward an organizational strategy.

We compiled insights from the session into this report.

The session covered:

What is an emerging change that you have been thinking about and that you think Creative Commons Canada should be thinking about too?

Aspirational Projects

What is an ongoing/upcoming/aspirational project you are or would be excited to work on that you think Creative Commons Canada should be involved with?

Visions for a Desirable Future

What would extreme success look like for Creative Commons Canada in 2050?

Imagine it is 2050, 30 years into the future. Consider:
