A breakthrough because it takes on one of the greatest challenges of our time: finding a way to solve the problems we have created. Process and method Scenario planning is a thoroughly designed process, that encompasses several sessions and may take up months. The process generally comprises the following steps:

What to look for?
Dialogue encourages the participants to “open up” the topics of conversation, much like opening a box, in order to broaden the conversation.

The idea is that the quality of cooperation, decisions and results is strongly affected by the way we talk about them.
