This article provides an overview of how the authors have brought together the three tomorrows of postnormal times, as an approach to thinking about the future, and scenario planning, a widespread futures method, in a way that has garnered interesting and insightful outcomes. Here, we reflect on years of workshop facilitation with the Centre for Postnormal Policy and Futures Studies, amongst other places, where we have been working with communities and organisations to develop postnormal times theoretically.
