Strategic Foresight Through Scenario Planning with PESTLED360 and Scenario360
Build future-ready innovation strategies anchored in real-world drivers. Understanding what drives change in your market is essential—but predicting how those forces will shape the future is transformative. That’s where PESTLED360 and Scenario360 come in.
Used together, these tools enable Certified Applied Innovation Leaders (CApILs) to create actionable foresight by identifying key drivers of change and building future scenarios that inform strategic decision-making.

- Legal and compliance shifts
- Environmental sustainability
- Demographic and talent flows
What CApIL Leaders Gain:
- Identify key drivers (15–20 most impactful forces)
- Assess impact vs. uncertainty (focus on “critical uncertainties”)
- Develop 2–4 plausible futures to test innovation strategy
- Align to ISO 56000 standards for proactive governance
How It Works in the CApIL Journey:
Step 1 – Tool: PESTLED360 – Scan environments – Outcome: Full-spectrum view
Step 2 – Tool: PESTLED360 – Prioritize trends – Outcome: Clear key drivers
Step 3 – Tool: Scenario360 – Create future narratives – Outcome: Strategic scenarios
Step 4 – Tools: Both – Map initiatives to futures – Outcome: Resilient innovation roadmap
