Scenario planning
For more informed and
resilient strategic plans
Scenario planning and strategy development for public sector and purpose driven organisations
The energy that Simon brings is infectious, and the different tools he used to get people to think strategically and understand the scenario development process meant that everyone could contribute.
If it sometimes feels like your strategic plan has gone out of date before it’s even been published. Or if your organisations strategy is poorly understood by staff. Or if your struggling to get people to contribute meaningfully to your strategy development then a well facilitated scenario planning engagement might be what you’re organisation needs.
Scenario planning is a strategy development process that prioritises stakeholder engagement, collective ownership and strategic resilience. It is particularly relevant to organisations making long term investments in uncertain environments where high levels of governance are required.
Simon spent a number of years practising scenario planning and strategy development at some of Australia’s biggest organisations. He now applies what he learnt to support public sector and for purpose leaders who want to develop more effective and relevant long term strategies.

case studies
My community library ltd (myli)
My Community Library Ltd (Myli) was facing significant changes to its structure and operating model. A shift away from council funding to a self-funded not-for-profit operating model provides the opportunity to expand services and geography but may also bring new challenges and new competitors.
Simon's scenario planning workshop was engaging, insightful and incredibly well prepared. The level of professionalism was high and the quality of the presentation was outstanding. I got the opportunity to be taken outside my comfort zone to explore future possibilities for the organisation while still feeling like I had my bearings. It was an insightful and worthwhile process to be involved in and nothing like any other planning workshop I've ever been involved in.
