Traditional strategic planning requires that you predict what will happen and make a plan to control how the future unfolds. That approach is not just unrealistic, but it can be dangerous in times of unpredictable change. The Adaptive Action Planning process gives an alternative.

Based on the principles of HSD, this planning process allows you to use what you know to plan what you can to create the future you cannot imagine. This document outlines that basic planning process. HSD Institute provides a wide range of Models, Methods, and supports to help you implement your own Adaptive Planning process. Our support includes:

  • Executive coaching
  • Facilitation
  • Meeting design
  • Process redesign
  • Organization design and development
  • Training
