I help prepare you for the future.

 

 

As a scenario planning consultant, I help you and your company adapt to new business realities.

I bring ideas, process and a point of view to your organization’s leadership team to help them see around corners, frame choices in new ways and create actionable strategies that are future-oriented.

Whether you are looking to identify the most critical strategic hedges to your current plan, completely rethink your core business, or devise a bold new market-shaping strategy, I will help you align on a clear path forward, even in the face of uncertainty.

 
 
 

Changing mindsets, creating urgency

If your organization is struggling to respond to change—in denial about it or paralyzed by the possibilities—scenario planning will be especially useful.

Making difficult decisions is not just about identifying new potential directions but also about getting your leadership team to truly believe in the need for change and to commit to it. Together, we will craft an intervention appropriate to your specific organizational context, be it an extensive scenario exploration and strategy development program, or a one-time event that injects new thinking into existing conversations.
