Is your chapter ready for the world we will see ten years from now? How can we prepare today to meet the needs of tomorrow’s members? Join our futurecasting party to find out! We will wield the power of scenario planning to identify possible trends to watch for, imagine possible futures for our chapters, and craft courageous strategies to meet the future needs of chapter members. You will walk away with tools to run your own futurecasting party as an integral part of your strategic planning efforts.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Outline four possible future scenarios based on identifying two critical uncertainties using the Critical Uncertainties facilitation technique from Liberating Structures
Identify robust strategies that prepare the chapter to navigate all four scenarios
Create empathy maps to describe personas for key chapter stakeholders using the provided template
Facilitate a futurecasting session with board or chapter members using the provided tools and resources
