Scenario prompts 8 January 2023; the questions to ask

Scenario prompts are the first step in strategy development. Ask yourself a number of questions:

  • Does it resonate? Why?
  • It is relevant?
  • Is it a hard or soft trend?
  • Opportunity or threat?
  • Will it impact now or in the future?
  • Is the impact internal or external?
  • Who should know?
  • Does it link with other trends?
  • What are the possible scenarios? Think extreme.
  • How should we respond?
