One is because small and seemingly insignificant changes can have huge consequences, and there are so many small things. The second is that unimagined events, undiscovered technologies, new social trends and more, will occur. Sponsors BLUE MEMBERS Cronje used the scenario building method to arrive at his conclusions about South Africa in ten years’ time. A scenario is a description of a possible future, not a probable future. The method requires building a set of possible futures, not a single future, any one of which could happen. A good set of scenarios should cover all possible futures, and have clear guides to which one is in fact unfolding. Sponsors Sponsors Scenarios are built out of deep analysis and consolidate about a set of central factors that will influence the future. In South Africa there are three obvious trends – political, economic, and social. “The ANC’s dominance of the political arena is a key trend that will play an important role in determining South Africa’s future,” writes Cronje. Despite the consistent decline in the percentage of potential voters voting for the ANC, (rather than those who do vote,) they remain the dominant party in the country. The ANC is not going to disappear in 10 years, and so what they decide to do, what happens internally, and the policies they adopt will be a key determinant.
