Programme detail
Scenario Planning & Strategic Foresight
Build a strategy that holds up whichever way the next three years go.
RegisterOverview
Strategy fails at the decision layer, and that is what this room fixes
Planning against a single expected future is comfortable and consistently wrong. Scenario planning replaces that false confidence with a small set of plausible futures and a plan that holds up across them.
Over two days you build three or four scenarios using a structured method, scan for weak signals with AI assisted research, then stress test your existing strategy against each future to expose where it fails. You finish with adaptive strategies, pre-agreed trigger points that tell you when to move, and a repeatable process your planning team can run again next year without us.
Two days from forecast to foresight. Industry trend analysis is completed as pre-work, AI powered scanning accelerates the signal work in the room, and a 90 day strategic review checkpoint follows delivery so the triggers get set, not shelved.
- Spiral approach
- Each StratDo tool is revisited at greater depth, so the method compounds.
- Case study method
- Purpose-built cases from the sectors we consult in, worked in the room.
Who should attend
Strategy owners, executives and planning leads responsible for medium term strategic direction.
Outcomes
What you can do on the Monday after
- Build three or four plausible futures rather than one forecast that will be wrong
- Spot early signals of change before they show up in your results
- Stress test your current plan against each scenario and find where it breaks
- Set pre-agreed triggers so you act early instead of debating late
- Build foresight into your planning cycle so the capability outlasts the workshop

FAQs
What do I bring?
Your current strategic plan, or a working knowledge of it. It is the thing being stress tested.
Can I send my team?
Yes. Bring three or more and every seat is discounted 10 percent.
How do I get this approved?
One exposed blind spot in the current plan typically justifies the programme on its own.
