Product details

Scenario planning means preparing for uncertainty by developing plans for potential future changes in the environment, personnel, or processes that keep your business running. 

Essentially, scenario planning rests on the premise that the best way to prepare for the future is to think through and plan for various eventualities. Once the potential events, or scenarios, are identified, scenario planning entails considering alternative ways to respond to the situations. 

Companies need to plan in order to understand how industry and organization dynamics can best respond to change. Traditional planning assumes that tomorrow will be just like today, whereas scenario planning defines various possible future scenarios. Scenario planning can help companies examine each possibility, deciding whether the corporation would succeed in those situations. 

Scenario planning uses both forecasts and trend analysis techniques while identifying disruptions to these predictions and any feasible outcomes. Although some scenarios might sound highly improbable, developing plans to overcome them can help organizations deal with other likely changes that may arise. 

Organizations should consider how changes in the environment will create opportunities to be more prepared. When creating a scenario plan, categorize these potential changes into internal and external forces. Internal forces could include responding to major accidents within the organization or changes in stock prices. External forces can include market forces, cost forces, and competitive forces. 

Although scenario planning asks you to consider the unexpected and design plans accordingly, it also asks you to be realistic. It is easy to over-catastrophize and think of the worst of the worst, which is not very helpful and can make it harder to brainstorm solutions. 

Teams should, however, err on the side of uncertainty and outline all possible scenarios that feasibly could occur, even those that are somewhat unlikely. To come up with the best and most comprehensive list, you should work in a group and hear every voice. Encourage everyone to think outside the box as you craft possible scenarios, so you have the best chance of being prepared for anything the future might bring.
