Beyond the 2030 SDGs Game lies Possible World. In a virtual world, your hands stop, you hold back, you swallow what you wanted to say, just as in daily life. Here you notice your own brakes and frames, loosen them a little, and feel with your body the possibilities that open up. It is open to leadership, teams, organizations, and life itself. When it fades in the noise of daily life, come back anytime. P-Lab aims for a world where more people live their own one-of-a-kind poss

On August 24, we held a Possible World session in Fuchu, Tokyo, using physical cards — normally run online, this time prompted by P-Lab member Aya's temporary return from Darwin, Australia. Eighteen participants gathered to build a world together, even taking on an unplanned third round.

On September 7, we held a Possible World session in Shin-Osaka, using physical cards. Seventeen people with varied backgrounds played two rounds, building on the same world rather than resetting. By the end, the economy, environment, and society meters were all flourishing — but not everyone felt they had. Some felt left behind, others unheard. "If the numbers improve, is that a flourishing world for everyone?" That question stayed with the group, who chose reflection over a

On September 14, we held a Possible World session in Kamata, Tokyo, using physical cards. It came about after a participant from the August 24 session said, "There's someone in Kamata I really want to share this with." Nine people gathered to co-create one possible world. Finite cards, yet infinite possibilities — shaped by the people in the room and how they connect. Once the host let go, something shifted: "This world is up to us." The nine became "Possibees."

Connecting explorers from 11 countries, this session bridged the gap between our ideals and reality. Through intentional chaos, we discovered that surrendering control opens the space (Ma) for co-creation. While technical challenges mirrored real-world struggles, they revealed vast possibilities for connection. A look at how small ripples in Darwin became waves of global transformation.

Any professional who designs experiences and hosts spaces knows the immense energy poured into that design. We stand in the participants' shoes and simulate every possible ripple: "Will this one word deepen the experience, or will it cause them to stay at the surface?" We weave potential troubles into the scenario as foreshadowing, meticulously considering and repeatedly imagining systems to address them beforehand. This cycle—designing and then imagining—is the essential pra

We need to move beyond "Face-to-Face vs Online" and embrace the "AND" mindset. While In-person builds energy, Online offers unique Inclusivity and psychological safety. The Japanese word for Human, Ningen, implies we exist in the "space between" people. Technology simply creates new spaces for connection. By adopting this mindset, we can view AI not as a threat, but as a partner that extends human potential.

"Are you still scattering 'fertiliser' on barren soil?" Traditional training acts like chemical fertiliser: quick results, but it creates dependency. To build a resilient, autonomous organisation, you must cultivate the "soil" itself—your people's mindset and relationships. Based on Systems Thinking and Theory U, our inductive approach shifts from teaching "correct answers" to weaving meaning from experience, restoring agency and fostering true growth.

Date: November 20, 2025 Location: Online (Zoom) Hosting Team: Aya Matsuyama (Australia), Sekan (Tokyo), Asuka (Osaka) 🌏 Session Overview "This is not a lecture. You are not Passengers; you are Crew." With these opening words from the host, the Possible World Discovery Session began. The theme of our journey was "Awareness of Possibilities and Action." Members gathered from diverse backgrounds and locations—Darwin, Tokyo, Osaka, Chiba, Kumamoto, and Kagoshima—embarking on

Possible World Session Insights (11/19/25): 9 participants sought collective goals, but only 4 achieved individual targets. The simulation revealed a booming Economy (22) while Environment (7) and Society (11) lagged, fueling "frustration of not being able to control... the bigger picture." The key kizuki was the need to transcend small-group reliance for broader action, exemplified by Febriani's successful healthcare-conservation model.
