The workshops focus on developing the capacity of the participants to imagine and analyse the potential of the present and the past for the future. They identify opportunities to create, rather than observe the future and achieve:
- Increasing the visibility and transparency of strategy-making in the participants’ organisations by incorporating input from multiple stakeholders.
- Increasing awareness of the problems, intended interventions, anticipated outcomes and expected impacts of future strategies and plans so that they are sufficiently well defined and meaningful to organisational members.
- Clarifying participants’ ideas about the essential logic and the assumptions of future strategies and plans, linking strategic goals to possible interventions and then to results.
- Generating strategic insight without prejudicing the autonomy of future organisational members to choose different options and adopt different values.
- Increasing students’ employability in higher education contexts.
