Preparing for Extreme Scenarios

The current pandemic is living proof that rapid changes in technology, customer needs and society force large organisations to constantly adapt to a changing context in order to remain relevant. Organisations need to shift their strategy from a reactive to a pro-active approach, or in other words, they need to anticipate the future to prepare for it. This webinar addresses the use of ‘extreme scenarios’ to paint a picture of the future in order to prepare for the upcoming challenges and make use of new opportunities.

Damien Nunes is a project leader, trainer and service designer at UMIO, the executive branch of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics. He originally has an engineering, architecture and design background and worked at various architectural and urban design firms before reinforcing the UMIO team a couple of years ago. Because of his broad interest in design and the value that design can offer he developed himself further in the field of service and business innovation from a design thinking perspective. Creative and holistic thinking, next to (visual) storytelling, are some of his strong points which gives an extra dimension to the programmes and projects he facilitates at UMIO.
