In a world of continuous change, there’s only one thing more powerful than business agility: continuous foresight. The ability to accurately discern your best, worst, and most likely potential outcomes in a turbulent environment provides a significant competitive advantage.

Scenario planning doesn’t predict the future—it enables you to analyse and prepare for several possible futures. And it’s playing a key role in a wider paradigm shift.

Businesses are changing the way they plan, budget, and forecast. They’ve transitioned from traditional planning—a closed, static, infrequent process that provides limited, backward-looking snapshots of expected performance versus reality—to modern planning, which enables an ongoing, open-ended, and forward-looking process.

In this eBook, learn how “what-if” scenario planning can help your organisation accurately discern your best, worst and most likely potential outcomes. Topics include:

  • What makes “what-if” scenario planning so effective
  • Best practices for putting it to use
  • Benefits across your organisation
