One Page Futures Plan for Supplier and Enterprise Development Programmes Charlotte Kemp
In this introductory video, Charlotte Kemp presents the One-Page Futures Plan for Small Business, a strategic foresight tool adapted from the professional practices used by multinationals, governments, and military organizations. She explains that futures thinking—comprising models and tools for anticipating change—should be accessible to small enterprises, especially within supplier and enterprise development programmes. The plan is a concise, motivational framework that helps small business owners clarify goals, anticipate challenges, and chart growth pathways. Kemp establishes her authority by noting her roles as an international keynote speaker, professional member of the Association of Professional Futurists, and president‑elect of the Global Speakers Federation, while also sharing her personal experience of losing a small business due to a lack of foresight. She positions the one‑page plan as a synthesis of her professional futurist expertise and hard‑won lessons from business failure, inviting viewers to discuss how the tool can support their development initiatives.
