By becoming problem-finders—rather than problem-solvers—your Board can prepare your school for any future scenario.

When your Board expects the unexpected, it can ensure your school is prepared to weather any storm. That’s the intent of scenario planning—a concept that focuses on imagining different scenarios and discussing how your school could and would respond.

It may sound trivial but imagine: What could your school have done if you scenario-planned for a global pandemic in 2019?

Would you have:

• invested in more technology?
• had a virtual schedule at the ready?
• prepared your faculty and staff for such an event?

The purpose of scenario planning is to become a problem-finder, rather than a problem-solver. By identifying areas of concern before they’ve presented any real issue, your Board can prepare to combat them.

Join ISM Consultant, Andrew Taylor, and Director of Faculty and Curriculum, Josh Nelson, for a lively discussion about scenario planning. They’ll explain the concept, illustrate its benefits, and model what this activity could look like at your school’s Board meeting.
