Abstract
Having competent, capable, creative, and value-creating managers will be the key weapon of organizations in future competition. The future belongs to organizations that can foster such capacities in their managers. The aim of this study is to design future scenarios of NGO managers’ competencies. The research employed a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative). Meta-synthesis, fuzzy Delphi, cross-impact analysis, and scenario planning methods were used to analyze the data. In the first step, 83 concepts in 12 categories of managerial competencies were identified using meta-synthesis. These competencies were validated in two rounds of fuzzy Delphi with 25 experts selected through snowball sampling. Then, the results of cross-impact analysis were processed by MICMAC software to identify the key drivers. Seven key competencies were extracted, including technological competencies, personal and social competencies, communication and analytical competencies, managerial competencies, value and ethical competencies, legal competencies, and transparency and forecasting competencies. Finally, using the Scenario Wizard software, four consistent scenarios were developed for the future of NGO managers’ competencies.
