Synopsis

This volume introduces and describes the use of scenario planning in libraries. Scenario planning can be used to build plausible stories about the future and to, therefore, be better able to plan, lead, and manage during uncertain times. This guidebook explains the uses of and processes for conducting scenario planning as both a futuring technique and as a planning tool. Combining practical step by step chapters with chapters on research using scenarios, Navigating the Future with Scenario Planning explains how libraries can use scenario planning tools to develop strategic agendas to help libraries to survive and thrive in turbulent times.

Edited by noted scenario planning expert Joan Giesecke with Jon Cawthorne and Debra Pearson and with contributions from Tyler Walters, this volume is appropriate for all types of academic libraries. Other types of libraries may also find this volume useful.
