Business Breakfast: Scenario Planning
Description
Test Drive the Future:
Scenario Planning for Uncertain Times
Have you or your customers experienced concern, anxiety or uncertainty during the recent economic and financial market turbulence? Are you or your customers wondering: What does this mean for me? What should I do now? Can I still afford to buy this or pay for that service?
There is a way to understand - via Visual Interactive Planning (VIP). By merging high-tech tools and a collaborative process, this “scenario planning” helps people to test-drive the future, to see:
· What is possible?
· What makes sense given their own situation? And,
· What potential problems and opportunities may loom?
In short, scenario planning can demonstrate visually what the potential problems and opportunities are, where best to focus your energies, and what (and what NOT) to be concerned about. This engaging, real-time, interactive process allows people to understand the possible implications of their actions, and of things they can’t control.
