Abstract
Healthcare across the world is facing many uncertainties. In Dutch
healthcare, a recent policy change forces health organisations to deal
more efficiently with real estate which makes flexibility more necessary.
In order to support real estate managers in decision making in flexibility,
we developed a method combining scenario planning and real options.
This method is aimed to enhance sensemaking on both the consequences
of future uncertainties on the organisation which influences real estate
management, and on the types of flexibility needed to enable adapting to
these changes. In this way, better real estate strategies can be developed.
Through testing the method in one pilot case, this study shows
sensemaking had taken place. Based on these results, propositions are
developed focusing on the relation between real options, backcasting
scenario planning and sensemaking.
