Trend-storming Uncertainty-based Scenario Planning
Today's businesses operate in a very vulnerable, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world (VUCA). Without a methodical, creative and extremely practical approach to dealing with these real-world factors, you and your team will still be right...sometimes. By simulating the future, businesses and teams make themselves ready for uncertain surprises.
The Trend-storming method systematically and creatively explores uncertain but also critically important future scenarios for the primary purpose of helping users make very important complex and typically emotionally-charged business and/or life decisions. It helps users (individuals, teams, , etc.) more easily sort through the multitude of factors that make their decisions challenging so that they can arrive at decisions more objectively, faster and more confidently with greater clarity and a better ability to communicate their decisions (and their rationale for them) to others.
While no one can predict the future, and especially not in highly uncertain situations, the Trend-storming method empowers users to explore it with very pragmatic insights and results. The Trend-storming method honors participants’ very human emotions while managing their intensity when needed to avoid distraction and bias.
Trend-storming results
The Trend-storming Process
1. Identify Focus Questions that keep the process centered on issues that need to be addressed
2. Navigate a focused array of trends, events and situations that are shaping our world, as well as the uncertainties that they create
3. Methodically explore 4 uncertain polar future scenarios
4. Summarize key findings and resulting decisions

Trend-storming results
- Confident, clear and more objective decisions, faster and with more factors considered
- Identification of post-decision investments that will need to be made in order to make the decision successful
- Identification of factors to monitor over time that tell users to either hold on to the decision already made or potentially make a different one if certain conditions arise
- A framework that users can refer to whenever needed to remember why a certain decision was made AND to make decisions about other issues that arise after the fact
