INTERACTIVELY VISUALIZING YOUR FUTURE(S)

Are you responsible for developing the strategy that will lead your organization to success in the years to come? A scenario generation workshop can give you and your management team valuable insights into the potential changes ahead.

Whether facilitated online (as 99% of my workshops are, for now) or face-to-face, you will find that these high-energy events open your eyes to very different business landscapes that could plausibly emerge and become your future business environment, each one with its own set of positives and negatives. 

There’s another benefit, too: A scenario generation workshop is the ultimate team-building exercise. It gets you and your colleagues working together, everyone using their imagination, rifing off each other and sharpening their strategic thinking to take a far-sighted view of the organization and its evolving business environment.

And because my workshops call for energy and creativity, the process is actually a lot of fun. But here's the biggest plus: Unlike many team-building exercises, this one’s of real strategic value. Especially during the COVID crisis, such an exercise keeps your team sharp, and focused on today’s most pressing challenge: seeing the business challenges of the next couple of years.

In short: A scenario generation workshop — always tailored to look at the future through the eyes of your organization — improves everyone's ability to

  • grasp the big picture

  • see how several different factors could have an impact on your future success

  • think creatively and even unconventionally, and

  • make a strategic contribution to the way you work together to prepare for the future.

Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.
