UPSKILL YOUR FORESIGHT WITH SCENARIO THINKING
In times of high uncertainty, one essential foresight method stands out—alternative scenarios. This rich scenario framework helps sort through the chaos and complexity of world-changing moments like the current COVID-19 pandemic. It gives us the thinking tools to organize overwhelming events, signals, and memes into four clear paths to the future—and to convert those paths to action. In March 2021, IFTF Foresight Essentials will offer its first in-depth training on scenario building. We will introduce the mythic underpinnings of the alternative futures method as practiced at IFTF. Then we will dive into the basic building blocks of scenario-based storytelling—from people and places, time horizons, and forces in play, to the values and leverage points that set the course for each scenario.
Over three sessions, we’ll use the current pandemic moment and all the system frailties it has revealed to build four visions of the future: growth, constraint, collapse, and transformation. We’ll start from IFTF’s own baseline post-pandemic scenarios and work in teams to create authentic visions for our diverse stakeholders. Then we’ll convert those visions to strategic action plans.
