  1. National Scenario Planning Peer Exchange Tuesday, July 10, 2012 CLOSING SESSION

  2. Key Takeaways • There are diverse approaches for scenario planning and many ways that scenario planning can be defined. • Scenario planning is flexible and can be customized depending on the specific needs of a State, community, or region; it is applicable in a number of different contexts. • Scenario planning has tremendous value as an educational tool and as a mechanism to support public involvement/engagement.

  3. Key Takeaways (cont’d) • Overarching value of sketch planning tools is promoting conversation/dialogue; you “don’t need two-digit accuracy.” • Recognize where there are uncertainties in the process. • Scenario planning can involve significant resources (e.g., time, cost, data); plan in advance and adjust expectations.

  4. Next Steps • Moving forward, there are opportunities to conduct further explorations: • Clarify approach i.e., contingent versus end state scenario planning • Recognize private and public sector versions of scenario planning • Share lessons learned • Tie scenario planning performance measures to national performance measure conversations • Ask yourself: what is the value of having a baseline scenario? • Explore more State/transit-oriented examples of scenario planning

  5. Closing Questions • How can trade-off analyses be improved? • What might be the key change factors to consider as part of scenario planning in the future? • How might analysis tools evolve in the future and what would be the implications for scenario planning? • What needs to happen to advance scenario planning (e.g., more training, peer exchanges)? What resources would you find most effective or helpful?
