Namaste, Welcome to SAM-VAD (Together In Conversation), where we try to draw your attention to things that matter and why is that? Because ‘let us remember this again, ‘What we give our Attention to matters.’ Our life’s experience would ultimately amount to whatever we had paid attention to. Attention: is as fundamental as food; and we go blundering about, seeking ways to assuage the craving, instead of learning how to provide ourselves with what we need, sensibly and calmly. Once our attention is drawn to the mechanism of why and what we give attention to, it is as if a veil has been stripped off and we become freer in our action and choices. And that is our endavour. This week I bring to your attention another excerpt which we have titled – Scenario Planning from the book titled ‘Uncharted’ – How to Map the Future Together by Margaret Heffernan. In her bold and invigorating book, Margaret Heffernan explores the individuals, organizations and mindsets that aren’t daunted by uncertainty but seize the challenge of making the future for them-selves and explores answers to these questions, how can we think about the future? What do we need to do – and who do we need to be?  Scenario Planning Scenario planning originated with the recognition that much in the world is too complex to be predictable and that the future is too malleable to be revealed by hard data alone. Scenarios illuminate the contingencies, contradictions and trade-offs of the real world, where no one interest or single perspective is in control. Scenario planning exercises demand that we acknowledge that we all inhabit complex systems, only parts of which we can see or influence. They force individuals and organisations out of their narcissism to confront how much of their success depends on others. This can illuminate opportunities or trade-offs but it also engenders humility.
