Summary
The Scenario Game, developed by the Bavarian Foresight-Institute and armasuisse, offers a simplified, interactive approach to scenario planning in response to growing uncertainty from economic instability, climate change, and rapid technological shifts. Traditional scenario planning, though effective, is often too complex and time-consuming. This game-based method uses trend cards, archetype canvases, and structured templates to help participants explore diverse futures in a collaborative setting. It encourages strategic dialogue, challenges assumptions, and fosters creative thinking. Adaptable and accessible, the Scenario Game democratizes foresight by making it engaging and practical for various sectors, supporting more resilient future planning.
