A week off site, with field trips, taking one case all the way through: from its assumptions to a mapped system, a set of goals, and a roadmap with the first projects named. The method is the one the shorter courses use, worked at the pace a week allows.
That pace leaves room to stop on the parts that normally get compressed, and to work out what the future the group wants would actually take. Groups are small and the days are long.
One case, from the first questions to a roadmap
A week is long enough to go from the first questions to a roadmap without skipping anything on the way. The group sets goals and indicators, maps the system across space, time and context, and then spends real time inside the maps.
Field trips take the group out to the case itself. Which tools come out depends on the case, though backcasting is almost always one of them: describe the state you want to be in, then work back to what would have to be true to get there.
Five to ten days, tailor-made, so the exact length varies.
