This course will help you visualize your future.

It is based on the course in scenario planning I teach in the Master's program in Future Foresight and Planning at Rochester Institute of Technology's Dubai campus. With some extra tidbits from my bestselling book on this fascinating technique.

Why should you want to do visualize your future? Because as a decision maker, you need to understand not just that the future will be different (we all know this), but how the future is going to be different - specifically, the future for your organization.

The reason this is important is that you have to make decisions and plans today that will only play out at some point in the future - a future that right now is unknowable, but which we do know will not be exactly like today. The future success of your organization may depend on how good those decisions and plans are - even though you have to make them before knowing with certainty how your future environment will unfold.

Scenario planning is a highly practical technique to foresee how your future business landscape could evolve - and potentially in different directions. Scenario planning is not about predicting the future but exploring alternative futures that can realistically emerge. Its practical value is that, by helping you foresee different ways your particular market or business terrain could change, you're in a better position to make effective long-term plans today.

This 2-hour Udemy "crash course" walks you step-by-step through the process of generating future scenarios for a business or other organization - a process which is structured and logical, and yet very creative.

Join me for an eye-opening learning experience that will add a very valuable technique to your managerial toolkit.
