Methodology

Sense → Explore → Rehearse → Decide → Act → Adapt.

A closed loop, not a linear project. Each pass sharpens the decision, and the last step feeds the first.

01
Sense

Scan the environment across STEEPLE dimensions. Separate weak signals from noise, and name the drivers that actually move your challenge.

Output

A shared map of what is changing.

02
Explore

Identify the two critical uncertainties and build four alternative futures. Each one must be plausible, distinct and uncomfortable in a different way.

Output

Four named futures, hard-reset tested.

03
Rehearse

Wind-tunnel the decision through every future. Where does it hold, where does it break, and what would we wish we had done?

Output

A resilience score and known failure modes.

04
Decide

Shape strategic options and compare them on impact and feasibility. Choose, and record why — including what you deliberately discarded.

Output

A decision with an explicit reasoning chain.

05
Act

Translate the decision into now, next, later moves — plus the future options you keep open at low cost.

Output

An implementation roadmap.

06
Adapt

Monitor the assumptions the decision rests on, track whether workshop signals are emerging, and let action triggers tell you when to act, wait, adapt or reconsider.

Output

A living decision, not an archived deck.

Principles

A scenario is not an expectation

If very little would have to be true for a future to be impossible, it is not a scenario — it is your forecast wearing a costume.

Decisions before predictions

We do not try to know the future. We test whether a decision survives several of them.

Assumptions are trackable claims

Every strategy rests on beliefs. Written down, they can be monitored, evidenced and falsified.

AI is a sparring partner

Blank by default. AI provokes, challenges and drafts — only when you ask it to.

Run the method on a live decision.

We facilitate the first loop with your team, inside the platform.
