Scenario Planning

The purpose of scenario planning is not to predict the future but to stretch your mental model of what's possible, so that no future arrives as a complete surprise. The real output isn't the scenarios themselves but the cognitive flexibility and pre-committed responses they create in decision-makers. Organizations that scenario-plan don't predict better—they react faster because they've already emotionally and strategically rehearsed multiple worlds.
