I could probably write a whole piece on that. But what I've always tried to do is look for what needs to be done, that no one else is doing (or doing enough of, or is struggling with). Projects in this context are more like client requirements than the outcome of your analysis: they're the framing inside of which the analysis gains urgency and relevance. --And this is just supposed to be an example of how you can do this stuff, not a set of iron rules.
Very relevant to our changing world, and insightful in terms of offering different lens and perspectives for appreciating our global situation in novel ways - love the application of Badiou's 'Event'!
Excellent framework, Karl.
Questions for step #2: do we imagine projects from scratch, or start from a trend we see?

(Please do that whole piece!)
So we might envision a client's project, based on their needs and perceptions. Good idea.
Well said! I really like this reframe.
