Strategic focus and OGSM translation for IDA Foundation

Building on the contingency and future scenarios developed earlier, IDA Foundation formulated a sharp strategic focus with Jester Strategy: a combination of robust growth directions and scenario-dependent emphases.

These strategies were translated with the OGSM method by various IDA Foundation staff into concrete objectives, actions and KPIs that sit under the strategic choices. Scenario thinking thereby became not only a way to understand uncertainty, but also a practical instrument to make choices, create ownership and organise execution.
