In this block the course participants are introduced to the historical background and theory of scenario thinking.  Different scenario methodologies are introduced.  In the workshop part of the process a practical strategic dilemma (from a participant’s organisation) is chosen and preliminary scenarios are developed.  Representatives from industry are invited to show how scenarios have been used to transform (or not) strategic thinking in their organisations.

==Block 2 Introduction to Systems Thinking==
Systemic thinking, developed to explain ecosystems in 1950s, is an essential part of the scenario thinkers knapsack. This block introduces systems thinking, the underlying concepts of business simulation and the practice of creating systems models of the scenario space.  Several stories are used to demonstrate the awareness of systems thinking and how they can be used in the construction of scenarios.  The policy failure of Ronald Reagan’s “War on Drugs” during the 1980s is modelled using systems thinking.  During the workshop session the participants will develop systems models for their scenario focal issue.
