Scenario Planning the Future is out in Chief Learning Officer Magazine

My new article, Scenario Planning the Future, was just published in Chief Learning Officer magazine. You can read the entire article (and issue) here.

Three key points for learning through scenarios:

• Naming uncertainty as a way of recognizing uncertainty and then engaging them
• Scenarios create a context for understanding internal and external business dynamics (in other words, a context for evaluating current and future action that makes learning possible)
• Scenarios inform action through their context, but more importantly, they offer a way to evaluate action. The scenarios themselves can learn as you grapple with their implications through decisions and choices.
