Strategic planning in a time of change
In times of turbulence, uncertainty increases dramatically, and the planning horizon shrinks. Classical planning methods no longer work because they essentially treat the future as the past, only slightly better or worse. The alternative is strategic planning using a scenario approach, intuitive techniques and chaos theory.
