Pandemic Scenario - Lock Step
Scenarios have been regularly used, like a 'war game' to simulate a global event such as a pandemic, which would assist governments and organisations to identify requirements for resources, communications, medical supplies, personnel and facilities so that if such an event did occur the response could be better managed.
Scenarios like Lock Step are not planning in the sense of a plan to unleash a disease but rather to assist planning for a naturally occurring disease outbreak.
The Lock Step scenario is just one of four which were published by the The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network in 2010.
Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development (2010)
The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network.
The purpose of the scenarios was to envisage alternate futures.
The scenario called Lock Step is chilling because it is similar to what we are going through in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The image used in the Rockefeller document to illustrate Lock Step represents surveillance. However, there were actually four scenarios considered in 2010. Of the four, a scenario called Clever Together has the best outcome.
LOCK STEP – A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback |
HACK ATTACK – An economically unstable and shock-prone world in which governments weaken, criminals thrive, and dangerous innovations emerge |
CLEVER TOGETHER – A world in which highly coordinated and successful strategies emerge for addressing both urgent and entrenched worldwide issues |
SMART SCRAMBLE – An economically depressed world in which individuals and communities develop localized, makeshift solutions to a growing set of problems |
