Integrating a futures approach into traditional
strategic planning models in order to develop a
foresight capacity requires not only an understanding of
what a futures approach is - as opposed to only using a
methodology like scenario planning - but also a
fundamental reconceptualisation of the strategic
planning model itself. This paper therefore first
explores that re-conceptualisation in order to develop
an alternative planning model before discussing how the
use of scenario planning provides an innovative approach
to the strategy development stage of that planning
model. pdf
