ASSIST BL 2005
Welcome to the aSSIST 2005 page dedicated to our class on strategic business. The class is divided into blocks that are listed below.
Lecturer Notes:
We have changed the course outline to develop our chosen scenario focus. We shall be developing scenarios on the Future of the Korean Peninsula in 2015
Instructions how to use the WIKI are listed in the Wikipedia:Help
Block 1 Introduction to Scenario Thinking, and defining a Research Space
In this block the course participants are introduced to the historical background and theory of scenario thinking. Different scenario methodologies are introduced. A practical strategic dilemma (from a participant’s organisation) is chosen to form the focus of the group scenario process. An example scenario process is described.
Session 1: Scenario Thinking (24 May)
- Introduction
- Strategies for Dealing with Complexity
- Scenario Thinking:
- A creative process
- A multidisciplinary process
- An exploratory process
- A process with results
- An ongoing process
- Determining Driving Forces
- Scenario thinking in practice
Homework:
- Listing uncertainties and answering research questions relating to the Future of the Korean Peninsula in 2015
Session 2: Under the Iceberg (26 May)
From uncertainties to Driving Forces
- What is a Driving Force?
- Developing Driving Forces from uncertainties
- Interrelating the Driving Forces in Systems Diagrams (time allowing)
Homework Developing the Driving Forces deeper and adding them to the WIKI database and the Future of the Korean Peninsula in 2015 page.

Course Assessment
The students are expected to as a group deliver a scenario set. This scenario set will address the future of the Korean peninsula in 2015 and use the theoretical material discussed during the course. The final grading of the assignments will happen on 23 June
Grading the course is based on 3 components:
- Groupwork (research area, writing the final scenarios) 50%
- Individual work (Object from the Future, driving forces) 35%
- Class participation (virtual and physical) 15%
