Subject: Richard Bawden September workshop - a systems approach to scenario
planning


Strategies for the future: a Systems Approach to Scenario Planning

 Richard Bawden
Michigan State University and
The Institute of Systemic Development

A One-day Workshop on 11th September 2000 at the Open University, Milton
Keynes


Working out desirable and feasible strategies for the future is important
for most of us, whether we are working in organisations in the public or
private sectors or whether we are working in communities concerned with
development. Formal management tools offer considerable assistance in this
regard.

Sadly however, such tools are often reduced to little more than temporary
and somewhat superficial 'fads' simply because they are adopted in
isolation from each other, and because their theoretical and philosophical
foundations are rarely explored, let alone embraced. Nowhere is this more
obvious than with corporate and institutional approaches to strategic
development.

An opposite problem is sometimes associated with community groups,
environmental groups, and NGOs, which often do not use sophisticated tools
of management that could be very useful to them for their own future
development.

In this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to learn about,
as well as how to use, two of the most powerful approaches to strategic
development currently available, in a manner that facilitates a profound
integration between the two.

The workshop will be particularly useful for people working in small and
large organizations as well as community groups, who experience the
circumstances in which they work as complex. These approaches can help
with long term planning and operating in rapidly changing social and
cultural contexts.

Using a combination of brief presentations, hands-on exercises that draw
heavily on personal work experiences, and open discussions, Professor
Bawden will lead participants through a unique experiential event which
aims to illustrate both the practical use of, and the thinking behind, the
integration of:

Systems thinking with Scenario planning

Each of these two approaches to strategic development by themselves has a
history of effectiveness across a wide range of situations. When
integrated together however, they combine to achieve very powerful
outcomes. Only recently have procedures for their integration been
developed into manageable practices, and it is to some of these that
participants will be exposed during this very practical, yet
theory-informed, workshop.
