How to Project the Impact of Our Decisions, Our Products, ...
summary
Presents a concrete workshop method called the Responsible Futures Wheel (an adaptation of the Futures Wheel) that maps decision impacts across Human, Planet, and Profit. Describes a real case where a major transport team used the method in a two‑hour, ~10‑person session to surface concrete benefits and toxic risks of keeping versus replacing legacy software. Applies the method to a hypothetical GP‑replacing AI, listing effects on energy use, jobs, access, and trust, and shows how the resulting map guides product strategy and mitigation actions.
