About the deck

A deck about where the market is heading and what can go wrong while you are making plans.

The deck holds 128 metaphorical associative cards. Sixty-four of them carry research questions that help you go into the situation in your business and in the world, study the trends and make forecasts of your own.

The other 64 cards describe possible strategic risks. Their task is to prompt the thought of what might happen, so that it can be foreseen, prevented, or covered by a plan B.

The deck does not predict the future. It asks questions the entrepreneur answers themselves, leaning on their own observations, data and experience, and so they get not a fortune-telling but their own strategic picture.

It has a separate value in that risks are spoken about in advance and without panic: a risk you have seen stops being a catastrophe and becomes a line in the plan.

The deck is intended for coaches, business trainers, strategy consultants, facilitators and entrepreneurs.

Who it is for: coaches, business trainers, strategy consultants, facilitators, consultants, psychologists, transformation game facilitators, and entrepreneurs and managers working on their strategy on their own.

With the “Business Forecasts, Trends & Risks” deck you can

go deep into your industry and think through the ways it could develop
study the tendencies and trends in the world and in your particular niche
understand which stage a trend is at: growth, turning point, decline, merging with another
learn which strategic risks exist at all
understand what to pay attention to and where a plan B is needed
notice the risk a person is used to ignoring
assess where it is worth fitting in and where it definitely is not
decide how to act through a period of change
prepare the team for the possible scenarios in advance
turn anxiety about the future into a concrete list of actions

Questions to ask the deck

Work starts from these questions. Choose one, the one that speaks to you more strongly than the rest, and work with it, because only one theme is worked through well in a single session.

What do I need to understand about the forecasts for my business?
What is happening to the trends in my industry?
What matters for me to think about to get the result I need?
Which risks are in my work right now?
Which risks do I need to know about to prepare a plan B?
Which risks should I look at first?
What do I stubbornly fail to notice in my niche?
Which trend am I underrating?
What will change in my business in a year with no change from my side?
Where am I dependent on one channel or one client?
What happens if a key person leaves?
Which scenario do I consider impossible when it is in fact likely?
