    CLA is a core methodology that ADB is using in internal and external foresight work with staff and Government clients. We value its power to segregate systemic, organizational, and personal blockers that limit change. It allows a highly structured, evidence and data-driven community to understand human behavior. It enables teams to reflect on themselves and create new roles in the future they want. We have documented this approach in the ADB book, Futures Thinking in Asia and the Pacific Region.

    “…CLA is a powerful strategic sense-making tool. Deconstruct then change the story (metaphor) to help understand the data (statistics/evidence base) to shape the strategy (choices/pathways to your preferred future(s)) ….”
    Rob Warner, Chief Advisor of Strategy, Maritime New Zealand, and Certified Foresight Practitioner

    “I have found that CLA provides the framework to have more open, constructive explorations of possible new futures, rather than merely defending what is – their used future. This has been especially useful when working with organisations who are seen as, at best, sunset industries, and at worst, barely tolerated polluters. I have seen that CLA changes the conversation, makes people less defensive, and helps them to embrace new ways forward, to find their preferred, more acceptable, and sustainable futures.”
