Seasoned leaders always seem to know what to do, as if they’ve seen a problem a dozen times before. Fortunately, having decades of experience isn’t the only way to become adept at finding a winning solution regardless of what the future may hold. Scenario planning helps leaders build anticipatory thinking skills and expand their strategic planning practices, making way for better decision-making that can stand up to whatever the future may bring.
Learning Solution:
The Scenario Planning Workshop is designed to grow leaders’ strategic thinking capabilities by providing the tools, techniques, and behavior patterns that help leaders:
- Create relevant scenarios based on plausible, relevant, and provocative futures and market information
- Employ scenario planning practices to improve decision-making
- Test today’s business decisions for robustness in standing up to future market conditions
- Identify opportunities and risks across a range of potential market conditions
- Analyze internal and external implications of scenarios and strategy
Tips for Measuring Impact:
- Measure the participant's perceived impact on their business outcomes and effectiveness in the job
- Stay in touch and check on actual business results. It's not uncommon for participants to report that they relied on these tools months, if not years, after the program
