THE ADV_™ has developed twelve bespoke scenarios, crafted into twenty-four exclusive immersive experiences — each undertaken in two approaches; The Adversary or The Advocate.
Below we go into more detail about :

Scenario : Progress?

—
+ What is it about?
From our 5th pillar of society, Technology, this scenario strategically reveals methods and perspectives within the themes of ethics, advancement and prioritisation — participants have the choice to reinforce their current evolution or to develop a new trajectory.
—
+ What are the stakes?
We have broken down each scenario from the micro to the macro highlighting concerns on every level :
> Individual courage as the price of collective gain. Are you willing to decide what/whom to sacrifice?> Communal prioritisation of needs and individual citizen values. What are the consequences of a slow approach to progress?
> Regional oversight of acceptable ethical measures and the distribution of innovation. Will excessive independence disrupt collective progress?
> National independence to prioritise technological needs. Can the populous survive the inconvenience of archaic technology?
> Global coordination of ethical guidelines. However, who sets the priorities of innovation?
—
+ What should participants expect?
In the scenario, friction is inevitable but a necessary ingredient in pursuing empathy, insight and foresight. We’ve identified a few core tensions* we expect to come up :
> Data Ownership v Service Optimisation
> Creative Commons v Copyright
> Local Innovation v Service Monopoly
> Future Visions v Present Realities
> Global Guidelines v Players Rules
KEYWORDS
> DEF. Core Tension — A central cultural, social and/or politicl strain.
