Pre-thinking: The New Scenario Planning

Pre-thinking is a more flexible and informal approach to scenario planning that enables business leaders to prepare for unexpected events by exploring different possibilities without trying to predict the future. Unlike traditional scenario planning, pre-thinking challenges business leaders to consider different opportunities and challenges that could impact their business and opens the door to new and different ways of seeing the world. This approach helps to expose personal and organizational blind spots, reinforces a nimble mindset, and enables them to react quicker and with more confidence to unexpected events.
