“…As an anthropological methodology, ethnography describes culture through the immersive observation of people and society. It was introduced to the field of design at the Palo Alto Research Centre in the Industrial Design Human Interface at Xerox in the 1970s (Aiken, 2012). Subsequently, organisations increasingly adopt ethnographically-inspired techniques in design projects to deeply understand user behaviour (Kensing and Blomberg, 1998).…”

In this paper, the authors propose a culture-centred tool called Speculative Ethnography to support the practice of design for the speculative future. Most explorations of tools and techniques of design for the speculative future focus on materialising the speculation. Instead, Speculative Ethnography provides a guideline to help designers define their speculation through the scientific imagination of the plausible future. It ensures the effectiveness of design for the speculative future and supports the interaction of culture and design for the speculative future.

Trends of independent workers, an economy of increasingly automated processes and an ethos of the peer‐to‐peer “sharing economy” are all coming together to transform work and employment as we know them. Emerging forms of “open” and “crowd” work are particularly keen sites for investigating how the structures and experiences of work, employment and organizations are changing. Drawing on research and design of work in organizational contexts, this paper explores how experiences with open and crowd work systems serve as sites of workplace cultural re‐imagining. A marketplace, a crowdwork system and a crowdfunding experiment, all implemented within IBM, are examined as instances of new workplace configurations.
