Foresight
The Process: Foresight and Scenario Development
Scenario development is a structured process for deepening our understanding of how the future might unfold and can be a valuable starting point for thinking critically, creatively - and expansively - about your organization’s response to the need for new housing and care models for older adults in your community.
Four Scenarios For the Future
These scenarios imagine what the future may hold in the housing, care and aging landscape in Canada. Tweak the scenarios as you see fit for your local context and consider the strategic implications for your organization if any of these possible futures plays out.

In this workshop, the Building With Mission working group introduced four scenarios of the future of housing, care and aging which the project Steering Committee had generated collectively. We used these scenarios to initiate a deep internal dialogue about what the future might hold.
Approximately 20 participants were involved in identifying a range of strategic implications associated with each scenario - specifically looking at the economic, political, and cultural implications of each. We then explored how SJCCC can plan for each future scenario and what steps would need to be undertaken. More details from the workshop can be found here.
