Incremental change is a way of life in an organic
world and is, to some extent, manageable. Annual forecasting tools are adequate for a range
of predictions within acceptable degrees of certainty.
Nonetheless, businesses sometimes feel that they are tossed about by wildly fluctuating
external factors. And business managers find themselves asking: “Why didn’t I
see this coming?” Or, even more ominously, “What else is out there in the future
for which I am unprepared?”
Part of the problem is that habitual thought patterns that are efficient when applied to
repetitive, relatively unchanging decisions interfere with the ability to recognize the critical
new factors that are required to make good decisions in the face of change. Failure to recognize
these perceptual blinders can lead to costly strategic mistakes and missed business opportunities.
Scenario Thinking is a valuable technique for expanding thinking around decisions that involve
future courses of action. It is particularly useful in identifying potential risk or unseen
opportunities that may lie outside the perspective of incremental planning approaches common
in business. It raises the question: What if the world is different from what we “know” to
be true today?
