IS YOUR BUSINESS READY FOR THE FUTURE?

While crystal balls cannot actually see into the future, a methodology does exist that can help you visualize it. Or to be more precise, this methodology helps you see a range of alternative futures—or scenarios—that could plausibly emerge, depending on how current developments continue to unfold.

Scenario Planning serves as a guide to looking at your business, and the world, years from now, posing thoughtful questions about the possible consequences of current (and possible future) trends. It helps decision-makers see opportunities and threats that could emerge beyond their normal planning horizon. This book will help you:

• Outline (and prepare for) any trends that could change the political, social, and economic landscapes and significantly impact your business
• Explore the impact of technological advances and new competitors
• Examine challenges that are only dimly recognizable as potential problems today

This visual book will help you answer the question, "Is my organization ready for every possibility?"
