Successfully Navigating the Future of Work

Scenario Planning: A Tool to Build Your HR Strategy

Scenario planning is a tool used by a CEO and their teams to consider expected and unexpected outcomes for various strategies under consideration by the organization. Future Workplace is incorporating this tool into our examination of key mega trends and how they will impact an organization’s human resource, corporate learning and talent management strategies. This keynote will examine a myriad of meg trends impacting the organization: including age diversity, wearables, gamification, transparency and social collaboration inside companies. These trends are framed to provide fresh views on the expected and unexpected outcomes while culminating in a team exercise to create a “likely scenario for the organization.”

Our new hire will experience new ways of working, communicating, and learning as she goes through new hire onboarding. Her onboarding starts the day she receives her offer letter, continues as she engages in a game to learn about the products and services of her new employer, and culminates in her fully expecting a heightened level of transparency in the workplace. This video sets the stage for uncovering various macro trends, which are impacting how we all work, communicate, and learn. This keynote can be customized to focus on key trends impacting individual companies.
