Take Charge of Uncertainty

The environment around your organization is changing rapidly. The future is uncertain-full of possibilities and dangers. As a manager, you understand the need for planning. But, in such tumultuous times, developing a long-term plan would be a futile exercise.

Consider an alternative: scenario planning. It brings your management team together, with participation from others, to consider the future without "locking you in" to a rigid plan. Instead, you consider several possible future scenarios, and think through the steps you would take in addressing each. The process is dynamic and exciting, and develops the management team by:
building their strategic thinking skills,
unifying the team by aligning their thinking about the future,
providing the greatest certainty possible in changing times-together you have examined the possibilities and are prepared to address them.

You identify the strategies that would have the greatest benefit under any of the different scenarios; those become top priority. You then specify action steps to bring about the most desirable scenarios and prevent those that are least desirable. Your organization no longer waits to react to change, merely following the competition. Instead, your team works in collaboration, boldly and proactively shaping its future so that it charges ahead of the pack.
