Transformative Scenario Planning: Working Together to Change the Future

Synopsis

&“Take[s] scenario planning to a new level, beyond the confines of business strategy, to deal with wider social and economic issues.&”—Vince Cable, former Secretary of State for Business, UK People who are trying to solve tough economic, social, and environmental problems often find themselves frustratingly stuck. They can&’t solve their problems in their current context, which is too unstable or unfair or unsustainable. They can&’t transform this context on their own—it&’s too complex to be grasped or shifted by any one person or organization or sector. And the people whose cooperation they need don&’t understand, agree with, or trust them…or each other. Transformative scenario planning is a powerful new methodology for dealing with these challenges. It enables us to transform ourselves and our relationships and thereby the systems of which we are a part. At a time when divisions within and among societies are causing so many people to get stuck and to suffer, it offers hope—and a proven approach—for moving forward together. Praise for Adam Kahane&’s books &“Thought-provoking discourse on handling difficult situations.&”—Publishers Weekly &“Profound . . . a wise way to negotiate our toughest group, community, and societal challenges.&”—William Ury, New York Times–bestselling coauthor of Getting to Yes
