Wednesday 20th August 2008
Facilitated by: Oliver Freeman, Managing Director, The Neville Freeman Agency
Oliver Freeman leads a workshop on the practical challenges we face if we are to set about designing scenarios for the future of regional development in Australia and takes delegates through a step by step insight into the key steps in the journey.
Delegates will learn how vision-based planning which is based on our preferred futures, runs into trouble when compared with the cold reality of the futures we might well have to have.
Delegates will also learn how to design the strategic responses which these future scenarios suggest and to see how a future-focused approach to strategy can transform the way you decide what needs to be done and how you go about doing it.
Oliver's recent scenario work includes projects to develop strategy options and priorities for meeting the challenges of:
- the future of teaching in Australia to the year 2030 for a national professional agency
- the future of water management out to 2025 for a large NSW council
- the future of electricity out to 2025 for a state-owned electricity retailer and distributor
- the future of primary industry out to 2030 for state government in NSW
- the future of government out to 2025 for the whole of government in Victoria
- the future of broadband in Australia out to 2015 for 'the people we love to hate'
