Sustainability is an issue that is currently addressed by
various organisations, companies, and governments around
the world, but it is also deeply related to co-creation because
it is broad, vague, and involves many stakeholders.
Bookcasting helps various actors to communicate together
about complex and vague future challenges and helps them
co-create a shared vision of the future.

BOUNDARY OBJECT
BOUNDARY OBJECT
A 'boundary object' is an artifact that is common enough in two or more
worlds to be meaningful to different participants even though that they
have different professional practices and professional languages They are
weakly structured in common use, and become strongly structured in
individual-site use. The creation and management of boundary objects is
a key process in developing and maintaining coherence across
intersecting social worlds.

DESIGNED ENGAGEMENT
DESIGNED ENGAGEMENT
DESIGNED ENGAGEMENT
The term ‘Designed Engagement’ refers to the application of design
methods and skills to transform the way we talk to people in the
community.
By creating bespoke and engaging experiences we can design for
meaningful dialogue that encourages people to reflect and share with us
the things that matter to them. Designed Engagement can involve any
number of different design disciplines and benefits from cross-disciplinary
working.
Designed Engagement aims to not only engage people in dialogue to
collaboratively explore ideas and differences in views, but to engage them
in creative exploration of new ways of doing things to work towards
preferable futures.

BACKCASTING
BACKCASTING
BACKCASTING
Backcasting means literally looking back from the future. It can be seen
as the opposite of forecasting, which looks from the present to the future
in a prospective way. In backcasting the desirable future is envisaged first,
before it is analysed how it could be achieved by looking back from this
future and identifying what steps need to be taken to bring about that
future. In addition, it is also possible to look back from an undesir able
future and to determine what to do to avoid this (Robinson 1990). While
most existing scenario and foresighting approaches focus on likely or
possible futures, the major distinction with backcasting is its explicit
normative nature, based on setting normative goals and constructing
normative desirable futures.

The books on the bestseller lists act as
boundary objects that help us see a
cross-section of our society. As people
browse through them, they find keywords
that describe our society today. Different
people choose different combinations of
books and keywords, which spark diverse
discussions.
IDENTIFY
Participants place identification keywords on the
Sustainability Goals Map to compare the current
state of society with the Sustainability Goals. This
step is about connecting the keywords that
describe the current society with the relevant
sustainability goals and identifying the values
that are needed for preferable future. Participants
can choose from a selection of value words, or
they can suggest their own.
DISCOVER VALUE
CO-CREATE
FUTURE VISION
This step is about imagining a future vision with
the meaningful insights discovered in the
identification and value discovery phases.
Participants imagine themselves as authors and
work together to design a book cover that will be
featured on a future best-selling bookshelf. This is
co-creation, where they visualise their own
expertise and the ideas developed in previous
phases to create a shared vision.
