Policy clinic - test your futures assumptions

Developing policy is a complex activity that often has to be undertaken under significant time pressure. It's simply not feasible to undertake a full futures exercise for every piece of policy development, but policy analysts are all too well aware that their policy recommendations will need to work in a rapidly changing world. This half-day workshop provides a structured methodology for:

• articulating and documenting your assumptions about what will change in the external environment and what will stay the same
• testing those assumptions and updating them where necessary
