In spite of my dislike of management jargon (see below), there are useful ideas available from the wonderful world of business planning which we're going to be using during our project.
One of them is called 'scenario planning'. It's a very simple idea which has been used to good effect by organisations like Shell - in fact this particular idea was invented by someone from Shell.
Scenarios are often described as 'stories' about possible plausible futures. They aren't intended to be predictions, not least because it's pretty much impossible to predict what will happen in the future (if you know any differently, do drop us a line!). Instead they are used in two ways - to help people to think about things and to test the specific plans they come up with. If you'd like to know more about this, there's a very good website on the subject here.
If you'd like to join in with the work we're doing on this kind of thing, we'd be delighted to hear from you! Click the link to our main website (on the right of this page) to find our contact details.
