In 2004 and 2005, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) and Land & Water Australia (LWA) commissioned a scenario planning project as a component of their broader Land Water & Wool program. Using a 20 person forum, the project was not about trying to predict the future (impossible) but sought to focus on learning about long -term future issues. Such an approach can assist decision -making in relation to both broad Research & Development (R&D) direction and specific R &D projects. This paper provides a brief summary of the process used and the key findings which arose.
