Abstract

Futures thinking is a field rich in a wide range of tools and techniques. Of these, scenario development has perhaps the most potential to assist future-focused policy development. This article seeks to stimulate discussion and inform practice in New  Zealand, first, by exploring the history of scenarios, and second, by investigating a past scenario development process which sought to guide nationalhealth policy.
