• THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE • Given the high stakes and uncertainty surrounding the future, there is an urgent need for structured ways of thinking about how the future may unfold. The next 25 years will be full of surprises. Strategic Foresight can help us better prepare for, and even anticipate, those surprises.

19. Thinking about the Future THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE The way that we think about the future must mirror how the future actually unfolds. As we have all learned from recent experience, the future is not a simple extrapolation of linear, single-domain trends. We now have to consider ways in which the possibility of random, chaotic and radically disruptive events may be factored into enterprise strategy development, threat assessment and risk management frameworks and incorporated into enterprise decision-making structures and processes. Managers and organisations often aim to “stay focused” and maintain a narrow perspective in dealing with key business issues, challenges and targets. A concentration of focus may risk overlooking those Weak Signals indicating potential issues and events, agents and catalysts of change. These Weak Signals – along with their resultant Wild Cards, Black Swan Events and global transformations - are even now taking shape at the very periphery of corporate awareness, perception and vision – or even just beyond These agents of change may precipitate global impact-level events which either threaten the very survival of the organisation - or present novel and unexpected opportunities for expansion and growth. The ability to include weak signals and peripheral vision into the strategy and planning process may therefore be critical in contributing towards the organisation's continued growth, success, well being and survival.
20. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK Professors Peter Bishop and Andy Hines at the University of Texas in Houston - Futures Studies School at the Clear Lake site have developed a definitive Strategic Foresight Framework - “Thinking About the Future”….. FRAMING AND SCOPING: • This important first step enables organizations to define the focus, scope and boundaries of the Political, Legal, Economic, Cultural, Business and Technology problem / opportunity domains requiring resolution. Taking time at the outset of a project, the Strategic Foresight Team defines the Strategy study domain, outlines desired outcomes, goals and objectives and determines how best to address them. • ENGAGING • This phase is about stakeholder management - developing action agendas for mobilising stakeholders and opening communications channels, soliciting collaborative participation and input. This may involve staging a wide range of Stakeholder Events , organising Strategy Communications, Target-setting and Action Planning, establishing mechanisms for reporting achievement against targets - so that the Strategic Foresight Team engage a wide range of stakeholders, presents a future-oriented, customer-focussed approach and enables the efficient delivery of Study artefacts and benefits in planned and managed work streams. . •
21. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK RESEARCH – HORIZON SCANNING, MONITORING AND TRACKING: • Once the Strategic Foresight Team is clear about the engagement boundaries, purpose, focus, problem / opportunity domains and scope of a Strategy Study - it can begin to scan the internal and external environments for relevant inputs - emerging and developing factors and catalysts of change, extrapolations, patterns and trends, information, content and data – to seek out and identify Weak Signals indicating the potential for disruptive Wild Card or Black Swan events. • STRATEGY DISCOVERY – STAKEHOLDER EVENTS & STRATEGY THEMES • Here we begin to identify and extract useful information from the mass of Research Content that we have collected. Critical Success Factors, Strategy Themes and Value Propositions begin to emerge from Data Set “mashing”, Data Mining and Analytics against the massed Research Data – supplemented via the human process of Cognitive Filtering and Intuitive Assimilation of selected information - through Discovery Workshops, Strategy Theme Forums, Value Chain Seminars, Special Interest Group Events and one-to-one Key Stakeholder Interviews. •
22. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT. • The underlying premise of Strategic Risk Management is that every enterprise exists to provide value for its stakeholders. All entities face uncertainty and the possibility of chaos and disruption. Risk Management is the evaluation of uncertainty. The challenge is to determine how much risk we are able to accept as we strive to grow stakeholder value. Uncertainty presents both opportunity and risk with the possibility of either erosion or enhancement of value. Strategic Foresight enables stakeholders to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risk and opportunity - thus enhancing capability to build value. • THREAT ANALYSIS • In most organizations, many stakeholders, if unchallenged, tend to believe that threat scenarios - as discovered in various SWOT / PEST Analyses - are going to play out pretty much the same way as they have always done so in the past. When the Strategic Foresight Team probes an organization’s view of the future, they usually discover an array of unexamined, unexplained assumptions tending to either maintain the current status quo – or converging around discrete clusters of small, linear, incremental future changes •

25. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK STRATEGIC FORESIGHT • The prime activity in the Strategic Foresight Process is, therefore, to challenge the status quo viewpoint and provoke the organisation into thinking seriously about the possibility that things may not continue as they always have done - and in fact, rarely do so. Strategic Foresight processes should include searching for and identifying potential Weak Signals predicating future Wild Card and Black Swan events – in doing so, revealing previously hidden factors and catalysts of change - thus exposing a wider range of challenges, issues, problems, threats, opportunities and risks than may have been considered previously. • Strategic Foresight - is the ability to create and maintain a detailed, functional, coherent and high-quality forward view of future conditions - and to use the insights arising in useful organisational ways. For example to detect adverse conditions, guide policy, shape strategy, and to explore new markets, products and services. It represents a fusion of futures methods with those of strategic management.
26. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK SCENARIO FORECASTING • Scenarios are stories about how the future may unfold – and how that future will impact on the way that we work and do business with our business partners, customers and suppliers. The Strategy Study considers a broad spectrum of possible scenarios as the only sure-fire way to develop robust strategic responses that will securely position the Strategic Foresight Programme to deal with every opportunity and threat domain that may transpire. The discovery of multiple scenarios and their associated opportunity / threat impact assessments, along with their probability of materialising – covers a wide range of possible and probable Opportunity / Threat situations and describing a wide range of POSSIBLE, PROBABLE and ALTERNATIVE FUTURES • Scenario Forecasting – Given the high stakes and uncertainty surrounding the future over the next 30 years - there is a need for structured ways of thinking about how the future may unfold. The next 30 years will be full of surprises. Future Scenarios can help us better understand, prepare for and manage these surprises – and perhaps even anticipate those surprises before they arrive. Scenario Filtering – The process of assessing possible, probable and alternative futures is achieved by filtering scenarios for further examination by discounting isolated outliers and focusing upon those closely clustered probable scenarios with future conditions which conform, to a greater or lesser extent, with our preferred options. Probable scenarios with future conditions that best fit our descriptions of our desired future outcomes may be selected - as those scenarios are most likely to support our ideal strategic goals and objectives. They can then be treated to a more rigorous analysis and interpretation.
27. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK STRATEGY VISIONING, FORMULATION AND DEVELOPMENT • After forecasting has laid out a range of potential Future Scenarios, visioning comes into play - generating a pragmatic view of our “preferred” Future Environment - thus starting to suggest stretch goals for moving towards our “ideal” Strategy Models - using the Strategic Principles and Policies to drive out the “desired” Vision, Missions, Outcomes, Goals and Objectives • Rational Futurism – Future outcomes, goals and objectives are defined via Strategic Visioning and may contain both Utopian and Dystopian elements - so that the future is both realistic and achievable. Desired outcomes may thus be realised via scenarios which tend to favour, encourage or nurture our preferred future conditions – and so act to support our desired outcomes and thus realise our ideal future. Strategic Positivism – Articulating a single, preferred vision of the future. The future is positive and deterministic in nature - thus future outcomes may be defined by design, planning and management. Our preferred future conditions may be created by positive, interventionist and deterministic Strategic Future Management - and so desired outcomes will tend to comply with our vision of an ideal future. .
28. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK PLANNING = the bridge between the VISION and the ACTION – the “ACTION LINK”. .• Here, the Strategy team transforms the desired Vision, Missions, Outcomes, Goals and Objectives into the Strategic Master Plan, Enterprise Landscape Models, Strategic Roadmaps and Transition Plans for organisational readiness and mobilisation – maintaining Strategic Foresight mechanisms (Horizon Scanning, Monitoring and Tracking) to preserve the capability to quickly respond to fluctuations in internal and external environments • ACTING • This penultimate phase is about communicating results and developing action agendas for mobilising strategy delivery – thus launching Business Programmes that will drive forwards to the realisation of Strategic Master Plans and Future Business Models via Business Transformation, Enterprise Portfolio Management, Technology Refreshment and Service Management - through Cultural Change, innovative multi-tier and collaborative Business Operating Models, Emerging Technologies (Smart Devices, the Smart Grid and Cloud Services) Business Process Re-engineering and Process Outsource - Onshore / Offshore. •
29. THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE FRAMEWORK REVIEWING • In this final phase, we focus on Key Lessons Learned and maintaining the flow of useful information from the Strategic Foresight mechanisms and infrastructure – in order to support an ongoing lean and agile capability to continually and successfully respond to the volatile and dynamic internal and external environment - by delivering Futures Studies, Strategy Reviews, Business Planning and long-range Forecasting. We also begin to prepare for the next round of the Strategy Cycle, staring again with Phase 1 – Framing and Scoping. Peter Bishop and Andy Hines – University of Houston

31. Outsights "21 Drivers for the 21st Century" Scenarios are specially constructed stories about the future - each one portraying a distinct, challenging and plausible world in which we might one day live and work -and for which we need to anticipate, plan and prepare. The Outsights Technique emphasises collaborative scenario building with internal clients and stakeholders. Embedding a new way of thinking about the future in the organisation is essential if full value is to be achieved – a fundamental principle of the “enabling, not dictating” approach The Outsights Technique promotes the development and execution of purposeful action plans so that the valuable learning experience from “outside-in” scenario planning enables building profitable business change. The Outsights Technique develops scenarios at the geographical level; at the business segment, unit and product level, and for specific threats, risks and challenges facing organisations. Scenarios add value to organisations in many ways: - future management, business strategy, managing change, managing risk and communicating strategy initiatives throughout every enterprise and organisation.

33. FIVE VISIONS OF THE FUTURE – THE ELTVILLE MODEL There are five viewpoints, lenses or paradigms from which we may understand how the future may unfold: - 1). GOAL ANALYSTS 2). EXTRAPOLATION - TREND & PATTERN ANALYSTS 3). EVOLUTIONISTS 4). STRATEGIC POSITIVISTS 5). RATIONAL FUTURISTS
34. Five Visions Of The Future – The Eltville Model There are five viewpoints, lenses or paradigms – from which we may understand how the shape of the future might unfold: – GOAL ANALYSTS –Goal Analysts believe that the future will be governed by the orchestrated vision, beliefs, goals and objectives of various influential, well connected, integrated and highly coordinated individuals – and realised through the plans and actions of global and influential organizations, institutions and groups to which they belong. The shape of the future may thus be discerned by analysis and interpretation of the policies, behaviours and actions of such individuals and of those groups to which they subscribe and belong. The Preferred Future – Vision: - Goal Analysis Value Models and Roadmaps Political Science and Policy Studies Religious Studies and Future Beliefs Peace and Conflict Studies, Military Science Leadership Studies and Stakeholder Analysis
35. Five Visions Of The Future – The Eltville Model EXTRAPOLATION – TREND and PATTERN ANALYSTS– believe that the past is the key to the future. The future is thus a logical continuation, extension and extrapolation of past historic patterns, cycles and trends. As the future develops and unfolds it does so as a continuum of time past, time present and time future – so eternally perpetuating the unfolding, extension, replication and preservation of those historic cycles, patterns and trends that have shaped and influenced actions and events throughout time….. The Probable Future – Assumptions: - Patent and Content Analysis Causal Layer Analysis (CLA) Fisher-Pry and Gompertz Analysis Pattern Analysis and Extrapolation Technology and Precursor Trend Analysis Morphological Matrices and Analogy Analysis
36. Five Visions Of The Future – The Eltville Model EVOLUTIONISTS – Global Evolutionists believe that the earth and society behave as a self-regulating collection of interactive forces and systems. Global climatic, geological, biosphere, anthropologic and geo-political systems dominate at the macro-level – and at the micro-level local weather, ecology, environmental, social and economic sub-systems prevail. The future will evolve from a series of actions and events which emerge, unfold and develop – and then plateau, decline and collapse. These actions and events are essentially natural responses to human impact on ecological and environmental support systems - creating massive global change through population growth, environmental degradation and scarcity of natural resources. Over the long term, global stability and sustainability of those systems will be preserved – at the expense of world-wide human population levels.

37. Five Visions Of The Future – The Eltville Model STRATEGIC POSITIVISTS– Future outcomes, goals and objectives are determined via Strategic Foresight and defined by design, planning and future management – so that the future becomes realistic and achievable. The future may develop and unfold so as to comply with our positive vision of an ideal future – and thus fulfil all of our desired outcomes, goals and objectives – so that our preferred options may ultimately be realised. The Planned Future – Strategy: - Linear Systems and Game Theory Scenario Planning and Impact Analysis Future Landscape Modelling and Terrain Mapping Threat Assessment and Risk Management Economic Modelling and Financial Analysis Strategic Foresight and Future Management
38. Five Visions Of The Future – The Eltville Model RATIONAL FUTURISTS –Rational Futurists believe that the future is, to a large extent, both unknown and unknowable. Reality is non-liner – that is, chaotic – and therefore it is impossible to predict the future. With chaos comes the potential for disruption. Possible and Alternative Futures emerge from the interaction of chaos and uncertainty with the interplay of current trends and emerging factors of change. Probable future outcomes and events may be synthesised and implied via an intuitive assimilation and cognitive filtering of Weak Signals, inexorable trends, random and chaotic actions and disruptive Wild Card and Black Swan events. Just as the future remains uncertain, indeterminate and unpredictable, so it will be volatile and enigmatic – and will be amazing.....

39. Thinking About the Future of Energy – How Different Will Tomorrow Be? Graham HarrisSAP Agile Academy Director @ Abiliti Nigel Tebbutt 奈杰尔 泰巴德 Future Business Models & Emerging Technologies @ Abiliti Abiliti: Strategic Enterprise Management Framework
41. Thinking About the Future of Energy The energy industry has one of the longest timelines of any business sector. Decisions are being made today for oil or natural gas fields that will only begin to flow fifteen years from now. A power plant approved tomorrow may be operating for more than half a century. Increasingly, the cost of many major capital investment decisions will be measured not in the hundreds of millions, but billions, of dollars. Investors, in the meantime, have to decide where to put their bets on technologies that will take many years to develop and mature. Inevitably, much will change over those time frames. Unexpected geopolitical clashes will disrupt markets. Economic performance will be surprising. Technology will bring in new energy sources and change the competitive playing field. Governments will undoubtedly change their minds on the balance between laisez-faire market forces on the one hand, and regulation and state ownership on the other - and flip between extremes more than once. Today, the outlook for regulation of carbon emissions creates another layer of uncertainty. There could be strong pressure to change the fuel choices in the face of tighter carbon regulations. Or the international community may fail to agree on effective carbon controls, and regulations could be limited or not effectively enforced. There will certainly be much debate as to whether to rely on markets or on regulation to meet climate change goals.
42. Thinking About the Future of Energy How to make decisions in the face of such uncertainty? “Scenario Planning and Impact Analysis” can play a very useful role. A disciplined process of scenario development provides a framework for managing the possibility of chaos, disruption and uncertainty. These are not forecasts or extrapolations. Rather, they are logical “stories” about alternative futures that force one to think about the “what-ifs,” the surprises and the range of uncertainties. Think of them as thought experiments, but grounded in wide-ranging research and analysis. Our energy scenarios combine structured narratives of how the larger world could evolve in the future with detailed energy market modeling. Yes, they are thought experiments, but the objective is to help people to think systematically about trends and the potential for changes, ruptures and discontinuities. Scenarios, of course, can be used for any industry or for public policy. Cambridge Energy Research Associates (CERA) recently completed a study entitled “Dawn of a New Age - The Future Energy Timeline to 2030”: which presents three possible, probable and alternative long-term energy scenarios. The objective of the study is to clarify the risks and choices ahead. Each of the scenarios examines an important strategic question about how the world may unfold over the next 25 years and what this means for energy markets (see CERA’sDawn of a New Age Scenarios in Brief).
45. Scenario 1- The Asian Phoenix SCENARIO 1 - What happens if the BRICS - Brazil, Russia, China and India – along with other countries in Asia Pacific continue to grow at their current rate? The Asian Phoenix Scenario examines the implications of a possible scenario for energy markets of such a transformed world. In this scenario, Asia reaches 54 percent of world GDP in 2030 and grows from its current 29 percent of world energy consumption to 42 percent. Continued strong economic growth in Asia pushes oil consumption to new highs. Tight markets keep prices well above the last 25 year average price per barrel. One outcome is that the international rivalry and competition for access to oil and gas resources not only grows but involves new players. “Eastern oil companies” emerge to compete with the traditional Western companies, especially in new regions of supply such as Central Asia and Africa. Another result, perhaps surprising to some, is that coal consumption will grow substantially, particularly in China and India. Coal powers these nations to new global standing but it also will become, if without mitigation, an increasing source of geopolitical tension as climate concerns mount.
46. Scenario 2 – Oil Price Break Point SCENARIO 2 - What would happen if oil prices move well above $100 price per barrel as experienced a few years ago? Could oil and gas lose its current totally dominant position in the energy sector? These are the questions that the Oil Price Break Point Scenario explores in the most probable scenario - a world in which oil breaks through the $100 per barrel barrier for a sustained period of time. In this scenario, it is not shortage of oil and gas resources as reserves above ground - nor accessible / exploitable hydrocarbon reservoirs below ground that pushes prices up - but rather global geopolitical events. This scenario demonstrates how ultra-high oil prices and global energy insecurity could unleash the second collapse in a double-dip depression - with a mix of policy and price responses along with enhanced technology innovation that would propel the worlds major industrial economies to begin finally to break away from the current massive dependency on hydrocarbon energy sources. In this scenario, one result of government and industry action, and new entrants in the energy business, is that by 2020, oil no longer has a monopoly grip on the transportation sector. Other liquid fuels derived from bio-fuels, kerogen oil shale, oil tar sands, coal-to-liquids, gas-to-liquids and even solid-to-gas (methane hydrate) technologies jostle for commercial feasibility and market share. Plug-in hybrid sources may also begin to win market share in such a high-cost energy future,
47. Scenario 2 – Oil Price Break Point SCENARIO 2 - Another outcome of high energy prices explored in detail within the Oil Price Break Point Scenario is progress toward reducing carbon emissions. National security concerns associated with high oil prices work hand-in-hand with concern over climate change (see “The Aspen Group Declaration of Energy Independence”). Dessertec is investing in a massive Photo-voltaic array the size of Wales – deep in the heart of the Sahara Dessert. The European Union is planning a European Super-grid to transmit this energy to consumers. In the UK, there are advanced plans for an Off-shore Grid to service Wind and Wave power generation farms springing up across the North Sea . The result is that across the U.S., Europe, Japan and even the BRICS - Brazil, Russia, China and India - new energy policies are embraced that expand investment in renewable energy, nuclear and emerging carbon capture and storage technologies. The high oil price scenario also creates strong incentives to improve global energy efficiency. A feature of the Oil Price Break Point Scenario is that Global Energy Intensity (the amount of energy required to produce a unit of GDP) in 2030 is reduced by 32 percent in comparison with the 2005 baseline figure.
48. Scenario 3– Geo-political Fissures SCENARIO 3 - What would happen if public support for globalization around the world wanes and economic insecurity leads to increased nationalism, isolationism and protectionism? That is the question at the heart of the Global Geo-political Fissures Scenario - which suggests that energy markets could evolve in an entirely different direction in this alternative scenario. Diminished economic growth would cause oil prices to tumble back into the sub $50 range. In this scenario, governments assert more control over the energy sector. The trend in the electric power industry in many countries is to move away from competition and toward corporate responsibility with social mandates and more regulatory intervention-in some cases, even the nationalization of assets. Daniel Yergin, chairman of CERA, received the Pulitzer Prize for “The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money & Power” and the United States Energy Award for lifelong achievements in energy and the promotion of international understanding. Visit CERA at http://cera.ecnext.com.
49. Scenario 4– Geo-political Collapse SCENARIO 4 -- Over the next ten years - the cost of energy of all types rises gently above the rate of inflation. Energy Prices then begin to become more unstable, oscillating wildly between High Price / Low Demand and Low Price / High Demand - until the price of energy becomes so unpredictable that Energy Commodities become untradeable. In the Global Geo-political Collapse Scenario - societies around the world plateau, decline and then collapse due to energy shortages. Industrial nations all turn towards self-sufficiency based on “localisation” economic strategies and solutions. Those societies with access to sustainable natural resources - clean water, good soil, temperate climates, maintainable agriculture, and sufficient sources of renewable energy – are alone in maintaining any semblance of an industrial economy.- and retaining a level of civilization that we would recognize today Doug Blair - Carnegie Mellon University Given the high stakes and uncertainty surrounding the future of energy, there is a need for structured ways of thinking about how the future may unfold. The next 25 years will be full of surprises. Future Scenarios can help us better prepare for these surprises - perhaps even anticipate those surprises before they arrive.

SAP NetWeaver Process Integration Abiliti SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP NetWeaver PI) is used as follows: - The system architecture of SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 is based on an existing and established integration architecture for realizing cross-system business processes - and is the same as in lower releases (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Process Integration and SAP XI 3.0 as part of SAP NetWeaver 2004). SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 plays an important role in supporting an enterprise service-oriented architecture (Enterprise SOA). The focus is on the service-based integration of applications. SAP NetWeaver PI is based on general standards so as to enable 3rd-party systems to be easily integrated. At the center of SAP NetWeaver PI is an XML-based communication that uses HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol). Irrespective of the scenario used, the application-specific contents are transferred in messages in user-defined XML (the eXtensible Markup Language) from the sender to the receiver - either via the Integration Server - or directly between the systems involved.

149. Combined heat and power (CHP) What is CHP? Combined heat and power (CHP), also known as co-generation, is the generation and exploitation of both heat and power (usually in the form of electricity) from the same equipment set, in the same place, at the same time. Not only does CHP enable the conversion of a high proportion of otherwise waste heat to usable heat, but it is very efficient because power is generated close to where it is being used (and thus electricity transmission losses are minimised). The predominant fuel used for CHP schemes is natural gas (62% in 2000). Other fuels include oil, coal or even renewables (such as municipal and industrial waste, sewage gases, biogases, from anaerobic digestion, biodiesel, gasification etc and wood). Who is it suitable for? CHP can be used throughout the commercial, industrial and public sectors. Larger, tailor-made systems are particularly suited to applications where there is a high heat demand, such as hospitals, leisure centres, hotels and industrial sites with process heating requirements (especially chemical, brewing and paper industries). Some industrial processes which use hot water or steam are suited to small scale (<1MW) CHP, including the following sectors: chemicals; textiles and leather; food and drink; rubber and plastics; engineering; and agriculture/horticulture. For a site to support a successful CHP installation, it should typically have a heat and power requirement for at least 4,500 hours/year (although it could be cost-effective with fewer operating hours). Generally, the greater the annual period of demand, then the greater the benefits…..

151. In its simplest form a CHP system comprises a gas turbine, engine or steam turbine to drive an alternator.
152. The resulting electricity is used primarily on-site. The waste heat, in the form of steam or hot water, is collected and can be used to provide heat for industrial processes, for community heating and for space heating. It can also provide cooling - using advanced absorption cooling technology.
