Kahane, who leads transformative scenario planning projects around the world, provides individuals wanting to create change in various areas with a guide to transformative scenario planning, to enable them to change the future collaboratively and transform, rather than adapt to, a situation, and construct scenarios of possible futures for the situation and understand and influence it. He gives an example of scenario planning in South Africa, and details when to use it and how it works by transforming understandings, relationships, intentions, and actions as well as its components and steps: convening a team from across the whole system, observing what is happening, constructing stories about what could happen, discovering what can and must be done, and acting to transform the system. He provides examples drawn from his experiences for each step, then ends with a generalized set of process instructions. Annotation 2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
