THE PROCESS
SCENARIO PLANNING
Broadly, the scenario development process can be broken into three key stages.
The first stage involves a process of defining the strategic focus you want to explore and collating people’s assumptions about what might influence your future. This is a powerful way of bringing leaders together to gain clarity on your strategic objectives and to align individual assumptions.
The second stage involves investigating the underlying drivers of change. By identifying the drivers that are high-impact but difficult to predict, we can then start to understand what possible futures your organisation needs to explore and prepare for.
Finally, the third stage involves building out a set of scenarios and using them to stimulate conversation amongst your leadership team. Through these conversations, you will identify opportunities, threats and new strategic options.

NICE THINGS PEOPLE HAVE SAID
Simon’s scenario planning workshop was engaging, insightful and incredibly well prepared. I got the opportunity to be taken outside my comfort zone to explore future possibilities for the organisation while still feeling like I had my bearings. It was an insightful and worthwhile process to be involved in and nothing like any other planning workshop I’ve ever been involved in.
