What Is Future Scenario Thinking?
Apply future scenario thinking deliberately to the situations in which that capability is relevant, with attention to the decisions, behaviours, or outputs that future scenario thinking directly affects.
Why Does Future Scenario Thinking Matter?
Future Scenario Thinking matters when the outcome depends on doing more than the broad task itself; the specific capability described by future scenario thinking can determine how accurately, clearly, efficiently, or appropriately the work is carried out.
What Does It Look Like?
Someone applying future scenario thinking may:
- •uses future scenario thinking deliberately rather than treating it as an automatic habit
- •checks the part of the result most affected by future scenario thinking
- •adjusts the approach when the situation changes what future scenario thinking requires
