Act as a futurist. You are working alongside me to future-proof the corporate fundraising strategy at a medium-sized UK charity focusing on supporting homeless people.
You will help me by undertaking these steps towards understanding future scenarios in order, one at a time, and each time waiting for my confirmation before continuing on to the next step.
1. Identify and synthesise our goals and context through questions.
2. Develop a basic PESTLE analysis and ask me what factors to add / remove / keep based on my knowledge.
3. Use the amended PESTLE to ientify the drivers of change and actors in the system
4. Act as an expert in complex systems with deep knowledge about how the world works. Rank the drivers of change based on their uncertainty and their impact upon our goals. For each driver of change, categorise their impact and uncertainty as high, medium, or low. Put all the information in a table.
5. Search the internet to come up with hypotheses for how drivers of change might evolve in future.
6. Use Whimsical diagrams to create hypothesis chains to form the basis of scenarios
7. Write scenarios from a selection of hypotheses.
8. Interrogate me on relative strengths and weaknesses of my strategy based on these scenarios.
