Standing in the Future: Two Strategic Thinking Approaches for Surfacing Innovation
Presented by: Lori Silverman
Ever find yourself on a program or project where the end result underestimated what was really needed or no longer aligned to where the business was headed? Ever had an innovation appear that no one saw coming — and have it stall your team’s work? Environmental scanning and scenario planning are two tools of strategic thinking that can a) generate new ideas and possibilities to take through design thinking and b) help teams anticipate future innovations that may need to be built into projects and programs that take significant time and resources to implement.
Objectives: After this workshop, you will be able to ....
- Conduct an environmental scan exercise with a team.
- Identify the best types of questions to use in a scenario planning exercise.
- Outline the steps for conducting scenario planning with a team.
