Planning to Survive

An Interactive Workshop for Senior Managers

Every organisation has a corporate plan, including a budget, a strategy and usually a 

forecast. This course uses scenario planning to put the corporate plan into the context of 

current reality. It gives delegates the techniques to assess how outcomes will change (often fundamentally) in response to changes in the economy at large. It trains them to prepare for extremes and therefore be ready to react appropriately to the future – whatever happens. 

 

The course covers the effects of current challenges such as climate change, energy 

shortages, commodity prices and the credit crunch, but we will also look at the effects of 

technology and the law of unexpected consequences. Delegates will be encouraged to 

contribute their own experiences and case studies. 

In order to maximise the befits from this course, delegates may log into a live web 

conference (included) one week after the course in order to review the learning points and 

exchange ideas. 

 

COURSE BENEFITS  

This course is different from other programmes because: 

 It relates planning techniques to the current economic reality 

• It offers delegates a web conference follow-up session (which they can share with 

colleagues) 

Delegates will want to attend because  

• The course will help them guide and protect their businesses whether the global 

economy goes into recession, accelerates into growth or just carries on as normal.. 

The specific benefits/skills the delegates acquire will be the ability to: 

• Identify the key decisions implicit in corporate plans 

• Identify key forces 

o In the global economy 

o In the local economy 

o Specifically affecting their organisations 

• Rank outcomes according to risk and probability 

• Draw up the three Parameter Scenarios 

• Create a dynamic sustainable business strategy 

• Select key indicators for constant review of assumptions and options 

Optimise business performance in turbulent times 

 

This event has been offered as a public course, but is also available as a tailored planning session for your board.
