What
Is Scenario Planning?
Scenario
Planning is a method for articulating the different possible futures that
might exist for you, and considering your appropriate movements down each
of those possible paths. Scenario planning provides a way for people to
rehearse the future, and to recognize opportunities and potential problems
unfolding so they can act effectively and adapt appropriately.

Unlike
traditional business forecasting or market research, scenario planning
presents alternative images of the future; they do not simply extrapolate
the trends of the past or present.
The
objective isn't prediction, but preparation. Scenario planning is a process
to help people learn about possible futures to make better decisions today.
