Transformative scenario planning: changing the future by exploring alternatives

摘要

Over the past two decades, my colleagues and I have worked with hundreds of teams of people striving together to change the future. These teams have tackled some of the most important and difficult challenges of our time: health care, economic development, and climate change across the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. The teams have included politicians, peasants, activists, artists, academics, businesspeople, trade unionists, civil servants and community leaders. Some of these teams have been local and others global; some have worked together for days and others for years; some have succeeded in changing their situation and others have failed.
