As we get ready to kick off our research around Play, here’s a little #tbt to our last RADAR report - A Future In Sync.

Here's a little on what it took to bring it to life:

RADAR's process is collective, collaborative, integrative and global. It's built on the strength of our community, and, well, research this good takes a village. That means:

8 weeks (more or less) of caves, campfires, exploration and discovery

8 SuperCurators and 3 SuperCuration experts, pulling together disparate threads from the far corners of our server into emergent constellations to explore

(also, if you’re interested in more on SuperCuration, we have a thread for you)

A core project team of 5 plus our research lead, @keels223, who dove deep into the idea of Sync – pushing, pulling, plotting, contextualizing, investigating and always asking, what do better futures look like?

27 individual contributors, supporting the work through spotting, considering and ideating

12 contributing experts, from artists and writers to strategists and founders, who lent us their knowledge and brilliance to shape our thinking and vision

Hundreds of signals (literally, there’s too many to count), collected over months of scanning, server threads and analysis

12 friends of the community, who lent us their thoughts and ideas

2 editors and 1 designer, who reviewed, created, polished and published, readying the report for release out into the world

And 1 signal, in 1 channel, that we called our “point of origin” – a single spark of insight that started it all, spotted by none other than @VictoriaFutures

We’re infinitely grateful for all the brilliant people who played a part in making A Future In Sync a reality – and we’re all too excited to bring together our next cohort of collaborators to investigate A More Play-Full Future.

And if you’re interested in supporting the next one coming to life – we’ve got big news coming next week, and we’d love to have you along for our journey.
