Strategic foresight doesn't require a consultant, a budget, or a new initiative — it requires a little intentional space and a few practical tools. These free resources are designed to be used: read them with your cabinet, bring them to a board retreat, or work through them with your team. Each one is a downloadable PDF you can print and share.
Two provocative futures for community colleges — the college as a place for meaning, and the unbundled student — each with a full set of study questions. Designed for a cabinet, board, or department to read and discuss together. A scenario isn't a prediction; it's a structured provocation that surfaces the assumptions your institution is quietly carrying into the years ahead.
A practical, ninety-minute exercise your leadership team can run on its own — no budget, no consultant — to surface the hidden predictions buried inside your strategic plan. Includes the full four-step method, a materials list, and timing for each step.
Three small practices you can begin this month — a signal log, an assumption audit, and one question to ask before every strategic decision. Each is designed to be started without permission, without funding, and without adding a meeting to anyone's calendar.
