Abstract

Today we find ourselves in an environment where we are constantly caught by surprise. Sometimes we miss profound opportunities because we fail to see them — and they are there to be seen. One of the principle roles of good scenario planning is to condition people to see the world more thoughtfully and insightfully, to recognize the signals of surprise as such and to act upon them.
