Inside the project
Focus
In an uncertain future, which priorities should guide today's decisions?
The Terakki Vakfı Okulları MYD project focused on placing the organization’s conference / seminar needs within a strategic framework. The organization sought a way of working that connected its future with today’s decisions.
The account of this project was structured around the organization's own definition of its needs.
Future analysis becomes a guide only when teams translate it into their own decision-making contexts.
Scope
We brought together the organisation's managers and teams. We held a search conference as a one-day session.
Implementation
HOW WAS SCENARIO PLANNING USED?
We used possible futures not as a single forecast but as alternative scenarios against which today's decisions could be tested. The aim was to make foresight the language of decision-making meetings.
Rather than predicting the future, a stronger starting point is to design together how we will remain resilient across possible futures.
The journey we designed
- 01EXPLOREA situation map was developed by considering the organization's real needs, current ways of working and external signals together.
- 02REFRAMEThroughout the conference and seminar series, participants worked with examples from their own contexts.
