These 3 mini-Webinar sessions will explore the benefits of Adaptive Systems Planning, an emerging capability which combines Systems Thinking principles and Rapid Scenario Analysis tools to enable new, agile, integrated and dynamic planning capabilities. Over the 3 sessions we'll explore and discuss:

• The Requirement: What are the contextual & technology drivers for change.
• Developing the Capability: What does an Adaptive Systems Planning capability look like?
• Applications & Benefits: Current case study, potential applications & associated benefits.

There are many routes to delivering the sustainable and resilient outcomes that asset owners wish to create, with many twists and turns along the way. How will we navigate the most optimal path to create those outcomes? Is it even possible to accurately foresee that path or am I going to zig-zag my way there in 5-year chunks? Has the delimited Asset Management Plan, the product of a repeating 5 yearly Price Review process, finally run it’s course?

BMA are leaders in complex systems modelling and scenario analysis. In an increasingly uncertain world, the expectation that even short-term asset plans can be delivered without any course correction is simply unrealistic. Increasing complexity, ambiguity and volatility add to the challenges and constraints planners now face, in what is often now referred to as a VUCA future. Accepting this reality demands new, more dynamic planning capabilities.

Session 2: Advances in modelling technology now enable more comprehensive, repeatable and quantified systems analysis, representing not only the current and future composition, connectivity and configuration of complex asset systems, but how those system characteristics should evolve over time to manage risk and maintain the system purpose. By also representing the context in which the system operates (environmental, legislative, financial etc) it is possible to consider an almost limitless range of scenarios.

This session will explore the characteristics of an Adaptive Planning Capability and how organisations have broken free of one-off consultancy engagements, to develop their own internal capability.
