Mastering Foresight Certification Program

Mastering Foresight with
Scenario-Based Planning

The Mastering Foresight: Scenario-Based Planning Certification Program is a practical application of the most widely used foresight tool, scenario-based planning. Participants will learn how to design and run a strategic foresight program for their organization.

The program is offered by LBL Strategies in association with George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, part of the College of Professional Studies and the Baldrige Foundation Institute for Performance Excellence. Learners who successfully complete the program may earn a university certification from George Washington University’s Center for Excellence in Public Leadership, part of the College of Professional Studies, co-endorsed by The Baldrige Foundation Institute for Performance Excellence.

This intensive, hands-on executive and professional education program designed for leaders and organizations looking to build competencies and skill sets in strategic foresight and scenario-based planning. As opposed to forecasting, which seeks to predict one likely event, scenario-based planning is a foresight tool that explores many possible future outcomes in order to help organizations identify the capabilities necessary to prepare for an uncertain future. During the workshop-style Bootcamp, participants learn how to construct scenarios and conduct workshops to yield creative solutions and leverage tools to analyze capabilities for investment. Professionals learn disciplined approaches to writing, facilitating, analyzing, and developing recommendations that fit their organization by being practical, sustainable, and cost-effective. By acquiring these skills, organizations become prepared to effectively focus people, resources, and capabilities for an uncertain future.
