Although we cannot predict the future, there are ways to explore the range of plausible futures.
Our world is more complex, uncertain, and changing more rapidly than ever. Predictions are outdated the moment they are made. How can you make future-proof choices in a world like this? Scenario planning is a proven tool to help you make sense of and thrive in all this change and uncertainty.
Resilient, future-proof organisations do not predict one future, they imagine several and adapt. By exploring the ‘known unknowns’, scenarios expand your horizon and can shed light on your blind spots. Scenario planning facilitates a structured dialogue about the forces of change that are shaping the world we live in and the operating environment you will have to compete in.
Learning about the future through developing and experiencing scenarios together sparks creativity and alignment in your organisation. Stress-testing current plans and new ideas with scenarios enables you to adapt to and thrive in a rapidly changing world. We can guide you in this journey.
When to use scenario planning?
Which strategic options should you select?
How future-proof is my strategy?
What (new) risks can we prepare for?
Which innovations are needed to be relevant in the future?
Identify and adapt to change early.
Will your major investment thrive in multiple scenarios?

Our solutions:
The Responsive Organisation Program
Mapping your organisation’s exposure to change, exploring your future operating environment, developing an Adaptive Strategic Roadmap and building a monitoring capability. Our Responsive Organisation Program is an inclusive program that works with your teams across the organisation to create the tools and embed a culture to become an organisation that can recognise relevant signals of change, learn from them, and adapt in a timely fashion.
Scenario Planning Sprint
A changing world and the uncertainty that it brings means that business-as-usual planning is no longer fit for purpose. However, getting your team aligned on what that uncertainty looks like – and what it means for your organisation – often proves elusive. Built to address these challenges, the scenario planning Sprint improves the focus and productivity of your strategic planning. A proven method for creating structure in uncertainty, scenario planning will provide you and your team with new and credible insights to stress-test your organisation’s strategy for the future.
Business model analysis
How are changes in the economy, technology, society and the environment affecting your business model? Every organisation has a unique way of creating, delivering and capturing value. However, the trends that are shaping your operating environment are unpredictable and produce strategic uncertainties that impact your business model and your strategy. Together with your team, our Business Model Analysis will create a shared understanding and common language of your organisation’s core value proposition, how vulnerable it is to a changing future, and what you can do about it to be fit for tomorrow’s world.
