Transformational Scenario Planning

Transformational Scenario Planning cover

In this talk, Adam Kahane tells the story of a scenario exercise he facilitated in Colombia in 1996 against the backdrop of ongoing civil war. Kahane, who was formerly with Shell, has spent the last twenty years practising and facilitating scenario exercises. He makes a distinction between using scenarios to adapt to the future, rather than using them to influence it.
