Scenario planning is a strategic tool that helps organizations explore and prepare for various potential futures. It involves identifying driving forces in the environment, considering key uncertainties, and combining these elements into plausible future scenarios. These scenarios are not predictions but are used to test the resilience of strategies under different conditions. The process encourages open-mindedness, improves decision-making, and helps in identifying strategic options. It also aids in spotting early signs of possible future events and developing a common strategic vision.
