Clients Say ...
Use of scenario planning was an integral process used to identify strategic priorities for [our organization]. Team members entered this planning process with varied experiences, priorities, and expectations. Yet they all actively participated in the process and the outcomes were extremely positive. Not only was the team able to quickly and collaboratively identify the agency’s strategic priorities the process also effectively served to unify and energize the team.
Additionally, during the scenario planning exercises, the Open Sky Team identified a number of critical capabilities including being able to respond rapidly; being innovative and having a commitment to addressing complex challenges. We have found that the process of identifying these capabilities has proven to be immensely helpful as we have needed to call on and build upon them daily while maintaining operations and responding to the needs of our community during the COVID-19 public health crisis.
