Storytelling Strategies for Future Thinkers and Design Leaders

Susanne Junglas, Director of Experience Design, denkwerk

We live in a world overflowing with data but devoid of vision. Reports, trends, and analysis are everywhere but they don’t inspire action.

Leaders, innovators, and designers need more than just great ideas—they need the ability to tell stories that bring those ideas to life. In this Master Class with Susanne Junglas, Director of Experience Design at denkwerk, discover how storytelling can become your most powerful strategic tool. Whether you're navigating uncertainty, pitching bold new concepts, or shaping your organization’s vision, storytelling is the tool that makes it happen.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Decode emerging trends beyond superficial observations.
  • Turn insights into powerful, action-driving stories.
  • Use AI to expand collective imagination and storytelling.
  • Craft narratives that spark innovation and inspire change.
  • Persuade decision-makers with compelling future scenarios.

This isn’t another trend-forecasting workshop. You’ll learn how to capture the collective imagination and convince decision-makers with your strategic storytelling.

If you want to design a future worth striving for, you need more than just facts—you need visionary storytelling that inspires, persuades, and unites.

You'll leave this Master Class with practical tools and real-world examples to immediately level up your strategic storytelling and drive meaningful action.
