Scenario planning is not expectation planning but resilience planning.
You are neither expecting the best nor worst-case scenario, but building capacity for an even better or worse scenario.
Because if you can stretch the mind out of its comfort without an external force, you build capacity to soak up external forces you couldn’t have planned for.
None of the scenarios you plan for might come to pass, but the process prepares you for whatever may come.
There’s something almost paradoxical here: the scenarios themselves are disposable, but the capacity they build is permanent.
Incorporate it into anything you think is important. Things can go forward or sideways, but whichever way, be built to adapt and thrive.
