Scenario planning for better decisions in an uncertain world

The future cannot be predicted, but organisations can practise how they will meet it. This webinar explores how scenario planning helps leaders challenge assumptions, test decisions against uncertainty and build a practical rhythm for better judgement, stronger alignment and faster responses when circumstances change.

Why scenario planning matters

Scenario planning helps organisations move beyond the illusion of a single reliable forecast. By separating prediction from judgement, teams can make assumptions visible, explore plausible futures and focus human attention on the decisions that matter most. The approach becomes particularly valuable when uncertainty and potential impact are both high.

From scenarios to decisions

The six step approach starts by challenging assumptions, then develops scenarios, identifies options and tests them through wind tunnelling before decisions are made. The discussion also highlights psychological safety, decision hygiene and clear guardrails, helping teams challenge established thinking without turning every decision into a constant debate.

Making it a habit

Examples from DLG Group show how scenario planning can become part of strategic and tactical planning, including harvest planning and regular reviews of assumptions. The key is repetition. By practising in peacetime, organisations build the confidence and cognitive muscle needed to respond when reality develops differently from any expected scenario.
