This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Scenario Planning PowerPoint presentation, outlines the initial phase of a scenario planning exercise, emphasizing the importance of defining the scope and context. It highlights four key activities essential for establishing a solid foundation for the exercise.
First, identifying the objectives of the scenario exercise is crucial. This involves clarifying what is required, the purpose behind it, and the timeline for completion. Understanding these elements ensures that the exercise aligns with organizational goals and stakeholder expectations.
Next, investigating the strategic backdrop is necessary. This means assessing key elements and team visions, which helps in understanding the broader context in which the organization operates. This step is vital for ensuring that the scenarios developed are relevant and grounded in the current strategic environment.
Establishing the appropriate timeframe is another critical activity. This involves determining the investment horizon for the industry and setting timeframes for key decisions. A clear timeframe helps in prioritizing actions and aligning resources effectively.
Lastly, clarifying what should be included and excluded from the exercise is essential. This could involve defining geographical limits or specific value chain segments. Such clarity prevents scope creep and ensures focused discussions.
The slide also outlines execution methodologies, which include executive interviews, focus group interviews, and management team surveys. These methodologies are designed to gather insights and perspectives that will inform the scenario planning process. Notably, it mentions that information collection activities can occur prior to workshops, enhancing efficiency. This structured approach is intended to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the scenario planning exercise and its implications for the organization.
