📈 Planning Around Viable Future Storylines

Scenario planning helps organizations test assumptions and prepare for multiple possible futures. Rather than predict a single outcome, we explore a range of “viable storylines” — each shaped by key uncertainties, emerging trends, and human values.

🧰 Tools and Templates (Discussed in the Book)

Our upcoming book, The Delphi + Scenario Planning Primer, will include guidance and examples using:

  • Drivers of Change Worksheets
  • 2×2 Uncertainty Grids
  • Backcasting Roadmaps
  • Scenario Narrative Templates

These frameworks are designed to help planners move quickly from insights to action — especially when using rdAI to explore emerging issues.

For now, our workshops and articles will continue to highlight select tools in context.
