Strategic Foresight

How do pivotal events shape the future, and how can we identify them before they occur?

In this 1-hour masterclass Dr Ariel Kruger, Research Fellow and Program Facilitator will share an introduction to Linchpin Scenario Analysis, a structured forecasting technique that examines plausible future scenarios and the critical events—or "linchpins"—necessary for those scenarios to unfold.

By identifying these linchpin events, participants can better understand the key drivers of change, anticipate potential outcomes, and develop strategies to mitigate risks or seize opportunities.

This session offers a focused exploration of Linchpin Scenario Analysis as one of the many techniques taught in the full course, providing a foundational understanding of how to make better reasoned, more accurate predictions about the future.
