Episode Nine | Scenario Planning with Woody Wade

On this episode of BSME Talks, Kirsty Crosby is joined by Woody Wade for an exclusive preview of his upcoming workshop at the Business of Schools Webinar Series.

As Director of Wade & Co., Woody has spent years helping organisations prepare for an increasingly unpredictable future and in this episode, he shares why scenario planning is becoming an essential leadership tool for schools across the Middle East. Offering listeners a first look at the themes he’ll explore during his webinar session, Woody discusses how school leaders can create time for long-term strategic thinking, who should be involved in those conversations, and why schools need to move beyond simply reacting to day-to-day challenges.

The conversation also shines a spotlight on the vital role business and operations staff play within schools. From being the eyes and ears of the organisation to contributing to long-term planning and organisational resilience, Kirsty and Woody discuss why operational teams should be recognised as key strategic partners - and why professional learning opportunities for these roles are more important than ever.

Tune in for practical insights, future-focused thinking and an exclusive preview of what’s to come at the Business of Schools Webinar Series.
