The scenario planning process helps organization leaders navigate uncertainty while providing structure around making key strategic decisions. In the context of COVID-19, scenario planning has become more important than ever. It is critical for organization leaders to engage in an iterative scenario planning process that accounts for factors outside of your control (e.g., shelter-in-place restrictions and the pace of economic recovery) and actions and options within your control (e.g., operational shifts and cost reductions).
This toolkit developed by Bridgespan guides you through a four-step scenario planning process anchored in preserving your organization’s ability to pursue its mission during times of crisis.
