 
Shell uses scenarios to explore the future. Their scenarios are not mechanical forecasts. They recognise that people hold beliefs and make choices that can lead down different paths. They reveal different possible futures that are plausible and challenging. Their latest energy scenarios 'Energy Scenarios to 2050' look at the world in the next half century, linking the uncertainties we hold about the future to the decisions we must make. The workshop will involve considering how the world might look in the future and how we can prepare for, or even shape, the dramatic developments in global energy which will affect us all.
We are holding this event in conjunction with the Benelux Business Club Scandinavia. Come and take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to hear more about this approach to planning from:
