Abstract

The changing dynamics, uncertainties and operating environments of many library services across the globe make it difficult for leadership teams to develop strategic plans. This article presents empirical findings on a scenario-planning project that sought to develop a mission, vision and strategy for the House of Commons Library Service in UK Parliament. Set in the context of a major £6bn Restoration and Renewal programme, it demonstrates how Scenario Planning was used to manage significant levels of uncertainty and develop a long-term strategic direction that sought to deliver high-quality Library Services provision over the next 10 years.
