Properly researched and intelligently deployed, scenario planning is today’s most powerful tool for understanding and preparing for an uncertain future. Yet it remains a niche approach, poorly understood by leaders at large. To bring it into the strategy mainstream, leaders need advice on how to turn concepts (scenarios) into actions (strategy). Scenarios for Success delivers a unique and coherent account of the state of the scenario planning art. 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.

Some people never seem to get ahead in the workplace -- every job is a re-run of the past. Success in the workplace is greatly determined by the patterns and messages established in early life. Personal beliefs on authority, relationships, work, success, and failure -- create a template influencing how a person views the world and behaves. As a result of this, people often sabotage themselves and create blocks that keep them from achieving their maximum potential. Using the metaphor that we are all stars in our own life movie, Take Two explains how to re-write your script and take direction of your life by substituting success-oriented beliefs that support the attitudes and behaviors required to get ahead. Practical exercises help identify the early messages that might be holding a person back and show how to produce new thinking and behaviors, and produce new behaviors to make the transition to a success-oriented attitude. Stories from dozens of individuals illustrate the impact of how accomplished and successful you can become by replacing your old dialog with positive information that will contribute to your success.

Scenario planning allows companies to move away from linear thinking and better understand external change. Eight years (and 30,000 copies) after publication Scenarios is still acknowledged as the definitive work in the field. Now, Kees van der Heijden brings his bestseller up to date, following up on his original case studies and adding significant new material. The Second Edition changes focus slightly by providing more in-depth analysis and application of the concept of the 'strategic conversation'. While maintaining the underlying rigour of the first edition, van der Heijden revisits the text to make it far more practical and accessible, and in doing so gives you the tools you need to set out and negotiate a successful future course for your organization in the face of significant uncertainty.

Scenario techniques have been used in companies such as Royal Dutch Shell for more than 40 years and there are numerous attestations in the literature as to the benefits scenarios bring to organsations. Despite this little rigorous research has been undertaken of the scenario development process. This research aims to make a start on rectifying this by examining the scenario process in detail in a longitudinal case study of groups of MBA students undertaking a scenario development exercise using the most commonly cited scenario methodology. The aim of the research is structured around three main research questions these being to distil from the literature the success criteria of scenario planning; to establish the fundamental elements of effective scenarios necessary in order achieve the success criteria; and to identify factors impacting the scenario development process which affect the accomplishment of effective scenarios and ultimately the achievement of the success criteria. The central argument of the thesis is that while numerous scenario development models are proposed in the literature, they are largely based on anecdotal evidence, lack empirical underpinning or validation, and significantly underestimate the complexity of the scenario development process. At the same time there are large bodies of research on cognitive processes and group facilitation in the domains of psychology and group decision support systems respectively, both of which have an impact on the scenario development process, but the findings in these areas has not yet migrated to the scenario literature to any depth. The contribution this thesis makes to theory is threefold. Firstly, it synthesises and links the literature on cognitive processes to the literature on scenarios and additionally, points to the literature on facilitation of similar group processes and the relevance of this to scenarios; secondly it establishes three interrelated organisational objectives which combine to form the success criteria of scenarios, and identifies the fundamentals of effective scenarios necessary to achieve the success criteria. Thirdly it identifies a range of cognitive processes, heuristics and biases which impact the scenario process and significantly influence the ability of groups to develop effective scenarios.

Using wireless sensor networks as part of pervasive computing scenarios is a difficult problem. It involves providing functionality and node behavior required by pervasive computing applications given the very limited capabilities and the constraints of wireless sensor nodes. The goal of this work is to investigate the problem of integrating wireless sensor nodes and wireless sensor networks in pervasive computing scenarios and to develop solutions that facilitate such an integration. Based on an analysis of both research areas, of their specific properties and requirements as well as the similarities and differences of the two fields, we identify and discuss a set of five fundamental problem areas that complicate the integration of sensor networks and pervasive computing: communication, network setup and configuration, user experience, security and flexibility and adaptability. In the main part of this work, we then introduce a total of six solution approaches that deal with different aspects of the identified problem areas.

Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: Good, Kiel University of Applied Sciences (Economics), course: Strategic Marketing, 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: There are many different methodologies for assessing the future environment of an enterprise. But it is quite difficult to anticipate the future development successfully. Three examples illustrate this problem: • “In 1943 Thomas Watson, who was then chairman of IBM, forecast a world market for about five computers. • In 1970, Ken Olsen, founder of Digital Equipment Corporation, said no one needed to have a personal computer at home. (Of interest is that Ken ́s company was purchased by Compaq - one of the leaders in home computers). • In 1981, Microsoft ́s founder Bill Gates said that 640K would be enough memory for anyone. (Microsoft was also slow to take advantage of the early Internet - releasing Internet Explorer in August 1995, well after Netscape Navigator, which had taken a dominant lead in the early browser market.)” These examples show that it can have disadvantageous consequences to rely on one apparently safe forecast. Scenario planning is a technique that allows to operate in planning with more than one possible future. This treatise describes the very interesting methodology of scenario development and demonstrates how to use it in an eight step procedure. Concluding, it shows how the oil company Shell had a remarkable success in the 1970s by using scenario planning and gives an assessment of this remarkable technique.

While there are countless self-help books explaining what you must do to become successful, there are few describing the mistakes you should avoid on the road to success. I have discovered six scenarios you should eliminate from your life in order to become successful. No matter what your vocation, occupation, or interest may be and regardless of whether it is in your career or personal life, steer clear of these six pitfalls if you want to attain success. Lots of people would like to have an impressive six-pack. It might be the six-pack the young lady playing beach volleyball has attained or the one the ripped guy working out at the gym is sporting. Hey, it might even be a six-pack of imported beer you got through a friend in Belgium! While these six-packs might be enviable, the six-pack of scenarios I'm going to reveal throughout these pages does not turn anyone green with envy. Quite the opposite. Oftentimes success depends not on what one does, but rather on what one does not do. Isn't this one of the reasons we study history? Did one of your parents ever tell you they just wanted you to learn from their experiences and mistakes? Ever heard a coach say that if we avoid mistakes, we'll win the game? Errors are frequently a part of the game, but minimizing those errors increases our chances for winning. Such is the essence of this book: learning how to eliminate the bad habits that reduce your chances for success, whether in business, sports or in your personal life. Eliminate bad habits, and the opposite characteristics that allow one to be successful are more likely to occur. As late actor and comedian Mickey Rooney once stated, "You always pass failure on the way to success." Don't let a missed ground ball mess up the rest of your game! These six chapters are short and to the point. Isn't that the way you like the preacher to be on Sunday morning? Don't tell me how to build a watch, just tell me what time it is! Give me the nitty gritty; I'll fill in the blanks and details later. We all lead busy lives and are bombarded with far too much information. Facts come at us fast and furiously. You're probably used to grabbing the most important concepts from this avalanche of information; so I'm sure you'll get the gist of these points quickly and apply them accordingly. Success can be measured at many different levels. You don't have to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, MVP at the Major League level, or President of the United States to be considered successful. In fact, many people have positively impacted other's lives, run successful businesses, been responsible citizens, accomplished financial and personal success, and been respected by others without being labeled the top dog. Regardless of their level of attainment, it would be fairly safe to say that these successful people have avoided most of these six scenarios on their road to achievement. The focus of this book is to show you how to sidestep these detrimental characteristics so you can achieve your personal version of success. Please invest a short period of time to read this book, whether during a coast-to-coast flight, a leisurely Sunday afternoon or during a conference call! If you have read my author bio, you've seen it's possible for a person from a plain, simple and moderate background to obtain moderate success, at least by this book's definition. The points I will address in the following pages are not intended to be insulting to the reader nor boastful about the author. They are intended to give credence to the fact that if you can avoid these habits, you can achieve success (at least by certain definitions). In the end, I hope you will feel your time reading this book was well-spent!
