Inside the project

Focus

How can an organization's future strategy become its everyday way of working?

The ASAŞ project focused on placing the organization's workshop needs within a strategic framework. The organization was looking for a way of working that connected its future with today's decisions.

The challenge was not simply to find the right plan but to turn it into a system teams could own and implement.

On 6-7 January 2023, we spent 2 days with ASAŞ, one of Türkiye's top 100 companies, at Wellborn Hotel in Kocaeli.

What strategy documents typically lacked was not direction but a working system connecting strategy to everyday decisions.

Scope

We held a two-day strategic management workshop with the organization’s teams. We served as moderators for the workshop.

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.

Strategic transformation begins not with writing a new plan but with decision-making that supports the organization's new direction.

The journey we designed
