TAIDA

The TAIDA method of scenario planning breaks the research process into five phases:

• Tracking: trace and describe changes that affect the focal question.
• Analyzing: analyze changes and generate scenarios.
• Imaging: gathering insights about plausible futures. Create images of what is desired.
• Deciding: identify strategies to meet threats and achieve goals.
• Acting: Plans don't carry out themselves. Make it happen.
