Speaking Topics & Workshop Add-Ons

 

Climate Strategy Under Uncertainty: What Scenario Planning Offers Beyond Disclosure Compliance. For corporate and organizational audiences navigating an unpredictable climate landscape, this talk makes the case for scenario planning as a strategic asset that goes well beyond regulatory checkbox compliance. Audiences come away understanding the value of moving past conventional planning assumptions that no longer hold in conditions of deep uncertainty, recognizing what ISSB IFRS S2 and related frameworks are actually asking organizations to think about strategically, and seeing how scenario planning opens up a richer, more defensible approach to climate-related decision-making. Well suited for corporate events, industry conferences, and sustainability-focused gatherings.

 

Scenario Planning as a Strategic Tool. A broader introduction to scenario planning methodology for leadership teams, strategy professionals, and consulting audiences. This session explores the foundations of the method, common failure modes in strategic planning, and how organizations can build genuine resilience without requiring certainty about the future.

​

Facing Uncertainty: A Scenario Planning Approach to Personal Resilience. Based on her book of the same name, this talk introduces scenario planning as a powerful personal decision-making tool. Audiences come away understanding the value of mapping the forces shaping their uncertainty, thinking in multiple plausible futures rather than single predictions, and building the kind of flexible thinking that allows for genuine adaptability as circumstances change. Well suited for leadership retreats, professional associations, university audiences, and general public events.

​

Workshop Options: In addition to keynote-style talks, Nardia offers add-on workshops that take participants through the scenario planning process directly. These are particularly well suited for leadership teams, strategy offsites, and professional development programs.
