Scenario Planning and Innovation

Think for a Change Blog (August 18, 2010) – Scenario planning helps the organization visualize the future in an ordered way so that the strategic plan is valid and likely to occur as planned. Both strategic and scenario-based planning also allows an organization to prepare for unrealized futures. The futures explored, and the plans developed, can be used as a road map to the future, as contingency plans for unexpected events or as event triggers for potentially damaging strings of events. In the innovation space, strategic and scenario planning helps define the future state of the organization. It is the target to shoot at when developing new ideas for prototyping and further development activities.
