Scenario Planning: Learn to Win Before the Game Begins

About the class

Today’s best leaders are proactive. They tend to stay a few steps ahead of their competitors, anticipating changes in the market and making the right decisions in response. As a result, that forward-thinking mindset and penchant for disruption can serve their respective organisations well – especially when unforeseen circumstances require a drastic strategy shift. More often than not, it’s these leaders who win the game before it even begins.

Among the many learnings of the last two years, it’s clear that scenario planning to become an effective “time traveling leader” will help you see the moves you need to make before everyone else.

Over the course of this webinar, we’ll cover the importance of staying agile as a leader. Participants will also:

• Understand how people have used scenario planning to take control of the future.

• Explore the benefits of planning for the unexpected as it relates to their business.

• Learn how leaders create their own reality of positive outcomes for their organisation.
