How can I anticipate and understand scenarios, events, and developments that can impact my organization?
Anticipating future conditions, trends, and actions is fundamental to generating effective competitive intelligence. While there is no crystal ball that can predict the future, CI employs a range of tools and techniques to develop an understanding of future developments, as well as possible and likely scenarios that can impact our organization's competitiveness. This live, hands-on course presents common futures models and techniques that are used to support strategic development. Participants will learn how to choose and apply the appropriate techniques, how to develop scenarios, and how to combine futures techniques with other, complementary intelligence models.
Prerequisite: Participants enrolled for the "Core" and Dual Competitive Intelligence Certificates are recommended to complete courses CIC-08 and CIC-09.
Course Level: Advanced
Course Learning Objectives
At the end of this course, participants will understand key fundamental techniques that can help them and their organizations better anticipate and understand future events and conditions that can impact their competitiveness. When presented with relevant questions, issues and problems, participants will be able to support intelligence needs and outline possible solutions and recommendations.
Specific Learning Outcomes:
- Distinguish common models and techniques used to anticipate future developments and now to address uncertainty.
- Evaluate and apply common models and techniques for intelligence questions and concerns.
- Prepare and participate in a scenario planning exercise.
- Combine futures techniques and scenario analysis with other techniques to identify key drivers and possible outcomes, as well as discern signals, wild cards, and other indicators.
- Demonstrate how futures techniques and scenario analysis support strategic development, can address changes, and enhance an organization's competitive intelligence efforts.
Participants will develop skills and abilities according to professional competencies outlined by Knowledge inForm.
Performance Measure: Exercises and discussions will measure and evaluate the degree of understanding that participants achieve over the learning process.
People are Saying:
"The instructor used a lot of practical examples in various industries so that students can relate the concepts learnt to real world experience. The instructor was effective in elaborating the delphi method using concrete examples rather than merely explaining the concepts."
"This topic really is the culmination of many of the building-block classes in the series. Excellent."
