exclusively to the Top 10 Masters

The HACKMASTERS Playbook is a distillation of 100+ exercises, tools and templates designed and used by us in hundreds of workshops and hacks across multiple sectors and over 20 cities around the world.

This book has 10 chapters that generally follow the journey we try and take our clients and participants through.

The 10 chapters cover the following:

Chapter 1: TRUST: How to establish a collaborative mindset, empathy between participants and removing risks to engagement and above all, build a basis for trust.

Chapter 2: FUTURE MINDSET: How to introduce and equip participants with a future mindset, a desire to change and provide the provocation to change.

Chapter 3: ANALYTICAL FUTURES: How to build futures analytically, building on evidence and some certainty-driven exploration of the future.

Chapter 4: PREFERABLE FUTURES: How to build futures wilfully, using a hypothesis driven approach for high uncertainty-driven futures.

Chapter 5: SPECULATIVE FUTURES: How to force fundamental re-evaluation of principles, ideals and values through speculative futures. How to suspend disbelief; reject the known to truly create new futures.

Chapter 6: FUTURE STRATEGY: How to move from classical, corrupt ego-systems and competition to eco-systems, collaboration and sustainable futures.

Chapter 7: IDEATION: How to develop radical and incremental ideas and impact.

Chapter 8: DESIGN + USERS: How to understand users, un-cover latent needs and pre-empt their frustrations.

Chapter 9: PLANS + ROADMAPS: How to build build out and show the journey to a new future.

Chapter 10: PRESENTATION + NEGOTIATION: How to show, negotiate and land a future proposition.

Each chapter has curated tools and exercises with practical step by step guides, cards and canvasses in virtual as well as printable versions for use whether online or in person.

Our best work in the last 7 years came from disrupting our own approaches repeatedly not repeating our approach.

We keep reminding ourselves to ignore the false comforts of predictability.

So we strongly encourage you to try it out, mix it up and act it out.
