According to Ramírez and Wilkinson (2016), Scenario planning is "a methodology that uses the inherent human capacity for imagining futures to better understand the present situation and to identify possibilities for new strategy (p. 1). Scenario planning can be valuable for ECE managers and leaders in navigating uncertainties and proactively addressing challenges. By envisioning and preparing for different plausible future scenarios, you can enhance your decision-making and strategic planning processes.
