Future Casting & Innovation Playbook
with Ori Takemura
As part of the innovation track at OKX we workshop and brainstorm what life in 2030 would be like. We often consider emerging technologies and imagine what they would mean for blockchain and our users. This talk presents our framework and a workshop playbook we use across teams to come up with ideas like a tokenised virtual fashion show or an NFT powered music band managing their beats licensing or an AI Agent helping users plan their daily expenses with a crypto wallet.
