What it does

Horizon scanning with driver mapping. Which forces act on your subject, how much do they matter, and how open is their outcome — sorted across the five STEEP fields: social, technological, economic, environmental, political.

The output is the selection

Not the list. What you want are the two drivers with high impact and genuinely open outcomes, because those are the ones that can carry a scenario axis.

When to reach for it

Before Future Scenario. Also as a standing stock-take before a strategy gets locked down.
