It is aimed particularly at those trying to implement its findings. Striking a balance between theory and practice, the contributors show how and why the core techniques of scenario thinking have endured and are still valuable, while bringing new tools and processes that keep scenario planning in touch with modern realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments xv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOverview xvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I Origins: Navigating with Invisible Islands 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Conversations with Peter Schwartz and Napier Collyns 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBill Sharpe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Professional Dreamers: The Future in the Past of Scenario Planning 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCynthia Selin\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II Scenarios In the World of Business 53\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Scenarios and Innovation 75\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJan Verloop\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Scenarios to Develop Strategic Options: A New Interactive Role for Scenarios in Strategy 89\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRafael Ramírez and Kees Van der Heijden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Deepening Futures with System Structure 121\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTony Hodgson and Bill Sharpe\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 From Signals to Decisions 145\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAlexander Fink, Philip Hadridge and Gill Ringland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 When Strangers Meet: Scenarios and the Legal Profession 173\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKarim Medjad and Rafael Ramírez\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 The Power of Narrative 197\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLennart Nordfors\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III Scenarios In the World of Management 217\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Viewing Futures Network: Collaborative Learning and Innovation at Rabobank 235\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePaul de Ruijter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Facilitating Scenario Development Process: Some Lessons for Facilitators 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRonald Bradfield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Appreciating the Future 279\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTony Hodgson\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Building a Comprehensive Strategic Future Management System: A Future Map Approach 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDon Heathfield\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Acting on the Future 339\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAndrew Curry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Backwards to the Future: Scenarios as Routines for Organizational Health 373\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJames Tansey\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConcluding Remarks 391\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 395\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 403\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Business \u0026amp; management [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Business \u0026amp; management\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Business%20\u0026amp;%20management%20%5BKJ%5D%22\"\u003eKJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52516369531160,"sku":"9780470512982","price":37.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470512982.jpg?v=1786684129","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/scenarios-for-success-turning-insights-in-to-action-hardback-9780470512982","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
