Keynote – Presentation
A general keynote of approximately 45 minutes intended for a broader audience to provide insight into the concepts of scenario planning and the value it can have for strategic decision-making within organisations. This is done through a step-by-step approach and compelling examples.
A presentation of approximately 60 minutes for a limited group of participants specifically for your organisation and as interactive as possible. After the introduction, participants receive up-to-date information on the latest trends and developments affecting the organisation, such as social, geopolitical, technological, climate-related, and macroeconomic aspects. These insights emphasise the importance of effectively dealing with uncertainties. Next, it is explained how scenario planning can serve as a valuable tool to deal with these uncertainties. A step-by-step approach to scenario planning is introduced, with examples focused on the short and long term.
Masterclass – Workshop
Scenario planning can help organisations practically prepare for an uncertain future. A general masterclass or specific workshop at your organisation delves deeper into the scenario planning process, allowing participants to fully understand and apply the concepts using a concrete business case.
A workshop typically spans three consecutive half-days.
The first half-day includes a comprehensive introduction to the concept of scenario planning, followed by mapping out the key trends and developments affecting the organisation’s business model. Based on this, the relevant future scenarios are created.
During the second half-day, participants assess the future scenarios for their potential impact on the business drivers and the organisation’s business model.
In the final half-day, participants determine the key priorities and initiatives that can potentially be included in the organisation’s strategic plan.
Scenario project
A guided scenario project in close collaboration with your organisation. A typical project spans approximately 3 months. An internal project team is appointed under the guidance of Crossing Futures. To ensure buy-in and save costs, most of the work is developed, organised, and facilitated together with the organisation.
The team maps out the key trends and developments affecting the organisation’s business model. Based on this, the relevant future scenarios are created. Next, the potential impact on the business drivers and the organisation’s business model is determined, followed by identifying the key strategic priorities and initiatives.
The outcome is presented and explained by the team in a final report with an overview of relevant future scenarios for the organisation along with an impact analysis on the organisation’s business model and strategy.
Strategic dialogue
In addition to the presentation and in-house workshop, an independent and honest strategic dialogue can also be conducted about the future vision for the organisation. These are one or more tailored conversations with the leadership. The conversation is as interactive and organisation-specific as possible. An overview of relevant trends and developments impacting the organisation’s future vision can be provided, such as social, geopolitical, technological, climate-related, and macroeconomic aspects. These insights emphasise the importance of effectively dealing with uncertainties.
In addition, it can be indicated how scenario planning can serve as a valuable tool to deal with these uncertainties. If desired, possible concrete steps to be taken can be discussed in more detail.
