Looking for a business tool that will help with your company's planning efforts and preparing for the
uncertain future? NAED Members can now take advantage of the Scenario Planning Playbook. The playbook is in executive summary format and is designed
as a “how-to” when starting your own
company’s scenario planning exercise.
Scenario planning is a tool used by organization
leaders to discover new strategic options for the future and to gain a deeper
level of foresight than is typical in most strategic planning efforts. The purpose of scenario planning is to anticipate probable and possible futures and imagine alternate strategic responses to these futures. In this way, business leaders and managers can develop a kind of tool kit of alternate strategies to call upon when a particular future begins to emerge. In other words, you can be better prepared ahead of time.
Hear what Glen Hiemstra has to say about the importance of scenario planning.
The Playbook is brought to you on behalf of NAED’s Eastern Region Council, and contributes to the council’s mission: “To provide strategic planning tools, education, and information that
NAED members can use to help them reach their future goals.”
