CLA supports strategic planning in companies in multiple ways:  1. CLA enables comprehensive and multidimensional future exploration by allowing different perspectives and assisting in understanding complex connections.  2. Through critical reflection on assumptions and implicit notions influencing a company's decision-making and strategies, CLA promotes a more conscious approach to the future. Uncovering and questioning hidden assumptions enables companies to develop alternative futures and discover new possibilities.  3. Another feature of CLA is its participatory approach involving various stakeholders. The method serves as a basis for discussion, incorporating diverse perspectives to develop holistic future images. This facilitates strategic decisions on a solid foundation.
