Introduction
Executives must make critical choices with incomplete information. This course teaches a structured method for mapping alternative futures and linking them to concrete actions. You will learn to surface assumptions, test implications, and set measurable trigger points. The aim is clearer, more defensible decisions when outcomes are uncertain.
Objectives
1. Build scenario maps that identify key drivers, uncertainties, and plausible timelines.
2. Translate scenarios into quantified impacts on revenue, cost, and delivery risks.
3. Define decision rules and trigger points tied to observable signals.
4. Facilitate cross-functional scenario workshops and capture critical assumptions.
5. Integrate scenario outputs into executive briefings and investment or contingency plans.
