Set up a Horizon Scanning Database

I ran a remote skill-building session for the Association of Professional Futurists exploring digital tools and workflows to support the futures research process with a particular focus on horizon scanning.

The key focus was around building a digital workflow that enables us to bring all kinds of research together and shape it into themes and drivers of change to provide pathways to scenario or systems work, with a chain of custody, showing related scan hits and signals of change.

It focuses mainly on Notion and Airtable as both represent great options for solo horizon scanning databases.
