Phil and Ross first worked together using scenario planning techniques in the mid-90s.

In the mid-noughties, they wrote a piece using the Mont Fleur scenarios from South Africa as a metaphor for approaches to improving the NHS.

Now they are doing a couple of scenario-esque  projects where the overall framework from the Mont Fleur project is being used to help groups tease out their fears and hopes – and what might determine those paths.

The template below can be blown up and tried with a group you know. Think of ‘yes/no’ questions around what might happen to the critical external trends or uncertainties in the environment you’re in and then see if you can map the responses to the appropriate Mont Fleur metaphors for where the future may end up.
