WHAT THE SESSION PROVIDES
Scenario
Planning is a process that gets your leaders to look at

whatever occurs. Scenario Planning, popularized by the book
The Fifth Discipline by Peter Senge is a technique
that facilitates the creation of a compelling Shared Vision
while acknowledging that you may get off course. Knowing
whether you are going where you want to go, but also
identifying other places you might end up and what you will
do about that is a powerful competitive advantage for your
organization.
