Virtual Workshops using Windtunneling™

SLI can provide a password-secure virtual workshop through the web-based WindTunneling tool developed by our Chairman Bruce McKenzie and our USA colleagues.

SLI virtual workshops using Future Insight Maps©–WindTunneling Software™ help you:

• Create an insight map for navigating the future
• Identify and adapt early to uncertainty and complex issues
• Make better strategic planning decisions that are more resilient to plausible future events and innovative in response to change
• Break down internal silos and foster integrated planning that leads to more beneficial results
• Anticipate and respond to unexpected risks faster than competitors
• Engage customers and partners to inform strategic decisions
• Build healthy, adaptive cultures that engage diversity, critical thinking, transparency and respect

Our Virtual Workshops have many advantages:

• As few or as many participants as needed
• Can be linked to face-to-face work
• No scheduling issues: participants log on when convenient, as many times as needed
• No venue, catering, travel or major down-time costs
• Less disruption to business schedules
• Environmental savings – no travel
• An automatic record of the conversations
• Effective ‘Wiki’ processes bring ‘Wisdom of the Crowd’ to forward thinking
• Rolling planning can be updated as needed
• Releases imaginations and creativity well beyond standard strategic planning processes
• Multi-disciplinary
• Personnel meet virtually and bond across organisational and geographic gaps – any numbers, anywhere, anytime.

To be sustainable, sectors, organisations and communities need to chart their way ahead despite high uncertainty and complexity. We cannot predict the future, but we must anticipate and prepare for it. The creative conversations of diverse stakeholders enable us to reduce risk and uncertainty. Our sustainability – social, environmental, financial - will be based on enhanced adaptability, creativity and resilience.

Virtual Workshops using Future Insight Maps© – WindTunneling Software™ map and test future scenarios for you, to see what will fly.
