There is rarely, if ever, perfect clarity as to how different factors and events will play out\u2014or how they\u2019ll impact your company\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t mean you should be frozen. To the contrary, you need to develop a strategic vision and then plan with <em>guaranteed uncertainty<\/em> in mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing the obstacles and limitations of predicting the future, many successful business owners we work with turn to scenario planning to help them make better choices in both the short and long terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">Scenario planning defined<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Scenarios are simply alternative futures. Scenario planning is a process in which you make different sets of assumptions about the future and how those different sets of assumptions are most likely to affect your company and industry. This type of planning can help you develop strategies to take advantage of opportunities that may possibly arise, as well as avoid significant possible future risks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of developing scenarios is in itself very useful for many business owners. Developing scenarios can accomplish the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Identify leading indicators of industry change.<\/li><li>Avoid major surprises that could hurt the company.<\/li><li>Provide a way to compare different courses of action.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You and your team can determine highly likely scenarios and devise strategic moves and initiatives to excel in those environments. The aim is to conceptualize multiple ways a current situation might evolve. Then, by monitoring the key factors in different scenarios, you can potentially have an early warning as to how the future will progress<a>\u2014<\/a>and thus, what actions you need to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Important: Scenario analysis is not about predicting the future as much as it is about considering possible alternatives. Based on these alternatives, you can prepare yourself well by developing various strategic options to implement if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We think the concept and logic of scenario planning is fairly straightforward. However, the difficult aspect is developing powerful scenarios. Basically, good scenarios are narratives\u2014stories that begin, advance and end. Generally, more complicated and extended scenario planning will incorporate twists and turns and adjustments that detail how a business environment changes in erratic ways over a period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the economic, political and social environments are becoming increasingly complex, we see scenario analysis getting more attention among companies (including a growing number of smaller businesses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">Simple and advanced scenario planning steps<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various different approaches to scenario planning, but they all tend to involve many of the same steps. Some approaches are modest and provide basic insights and certain directions; others are incredibly complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simple scenario planning <\/strong>is easy to implement and is useful for gaining perspective. The following steps are often used to develop simple scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Define the goals of the analytic process.<\/li><li>Construct a list of factors and forces likely to impact the future.<\/li><li>Put the factors and forces into categories (e.g., political, social, demographic).<\/li><li>Write a description of each category.<\/li><li>Use the categories to produce three scenarios:<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Best case<\/li><li>Mainline<\/li><li>Worst case<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Produce a one- or two-page description of each of the three scenarios, and specifically how the company would be affected.<\/li><li>Develop a list of indicators for each scenario that would help you determine whether the events predicted by that scenario are starting to play out.<\/li><li>Monitor the indicators on a regular basis.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>These steps reflect the basic approach to scenario analysis. However, they can be upgraded. More <strong>advanced scenario planning<\/strong> usually involves multiple people from the company and often uses outside experts (such as a facilitator). There is also a greater focus on details, from the construction of timelines to extensively fleshed-out narratives. Additionally, more than just three scenarios are usually developed and evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A more sophisticated scenario planning process often involves these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Define the goals of the analytic process.<\/li><li>Brainstorm to identify the critical factors and forces likely to influence the future, including how each will be impactful over different time horizons.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Each critical factor or force is based on a set of assumptions, which need to be clearly connected to the factors or forces.<\/li><li>The confidence people have in the different assumptions and the people\u2019s rationales should be specified.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Group the various forces and factors into critical drivers and then a viable framework.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Create a matrix of all the critical drivers, and specify how they interact. This will often result in mini-scenarios.<\/li><li>Examine the mini-scenarios and see which ones logically connect\u2014thereby forming more complete scenarios.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Determine how many viable scenarios are produced by the interplay of the critical drivers. Keep in mind that for most businesses, the number of workable scenarios ranges from about three to six.<\/li><li>Produce a narrative story of how each hypothetical scenario might come about.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Provide as vivid a description as possible of each future scenario.<\/li><li>Include a chronology with key dates.<\/li><li>Explain which factors and forces had the most impact.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Evaluate how each scenario will affect the company.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Tools such as an impact grid can be useful (see Exhibit 2).<\/li><li>Start to devise strategic initiatives to benefit from opportunities or to avoid possible disasters.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Develop a list of indicators for each scenario that would help you determine whether the events predicted by that scenario are starting to play out.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Make sure senior management is familiar with these indicators.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Monitor the indicators on a regular basis.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Be prepared to take action based on the indicators being recognized.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li>Periodically revisit scenario planning.<ol start=\"1\" type=\"a\"><li>Update scenarios.<\/li><li>Update indicators.<\/li><\/ol><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"334\" src=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-64.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-64.png 936w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-64-300x107.png 300w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-64-768x274.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">Scenario planning pitfalls<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Scenario planning is a very subjective process. It fosters dialogue within a company and focuses attention on strategic considerations. However, it does not necessarily produce definitive results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As such, there are potential problems to keep in mind when conducting scenario analyses, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Becoming paralyzed by too many possibilities and therefore taking no action at all. The aim is to come up with the most meaningful alternatives, not every conceivable alternative. Therefore, it\u2019s important to winnow possibilities and focus on key assumptions\u2014not all assumptions.<\/li><li>Being too wedded to a current strategy when brainstorming alternatives. Playing devil\u2019s advocate is often very useful in breaking out if you\u2019re stuck on one way of thinking about the future.<\/li><li>Confusing a likely scenario with the only possible or \u201cright\u201d scenario. There might be a scenario you feel is most likely to occur, but you probably still should take into account other scenarios and monitor for them as well.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, scenario planning is a way for you to better deal with possible changes in the business environment. Your scenario analysis efforts can potentially make you better able to see changes coming so you can start figuring out how to address them as effectively as possible for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">F<strong>rom scenarios to strategy<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that scenarios in and of themselves do not make your company more successful. That can occur only if you use the insights gathered from your scenario planning to develop strategic initiatives. You can use scenario planning to think through an event and \u201ctest\u201d those strategic initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So start with this crucial first step\u2014then be sure you follow it through in order to best prepare your business for whatever might be headed its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This report was prepared by, and is reprinted with permission from, VFO Inner Circle.&nbsp; AES Nation, LLC is the creator and publisher of VFO Inner Circle reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Disclosure: The opinions expressed in this commentary are those of the author and may not necessarily reflect those held by Kestra IS or Kestra AS.
