"Scenario Building" To Create Your A realistic goal achievement plan includes an assessment of positive possibilities as well as negative potentialities. In other words, it's important to look at the 'whole picture' when pursuing your goals. In his book, Visionary Leadership, Burt Nanus says that the best way to see the 'whole picture' is to translate expectations into scenarios. A scenario is a Story based on your hypothesis of what might happen in the Future. In his book Thinkertoys, Michael Michalko calls this Future Fruit. Three or four scenarios are usually sufficient. Scenarios can be ether individual-level future situations (suppose my job becomes obsolete) or organizational-level future situations (suppose our organization merges with another organization). Consider the following Scenarios when creating your goal achievement plan: Scenario 1: Suppose I continue to do what I am presently doing in terms of professional development, job performance, etc. How will this affect my ability to achieve my Career Goals? What will I do to stay 'on track' with my goal achievement plan? If I continue what I am presently doing, This will or will not . Scenario 2: Suppose my organization changes focus and creates a new Vision, other Goals, and different Strategies. How will this affect my ability to achieve my Career Goals? What will I do to stay 'on track' with my goal achievement plan? If my organization changes focus and creates a new Vision, other Goals, and different Strategies, This will or will not . Scenario 3: Suppose some of My Mentors or Supporters leave my organization? How will this affect my ability to achieve my Career Goals? What will I do to stay 'on track' with my goal achievement plan? If ___________________ (name), ___________________ (name) are no longer My Mentors or Supporters, This
will or will not . ~~<<>>~~ PERMISSION TO REPRINT: Articles, Tips, and Tools can be reprinted in company newsletters or magazines.
