Scenario Planning: The Link Between Future and Strategy
by Mats Lindgren, Hans Bandhold
Recent research in the field of business strategy has shown that
strategic flexibility can be achieved through a scenario planning
perspective for long term competition and performance. The authors have
drawn upon examples and cases to develop a new model for scenario
planning that is closely integrated with strategy. They argue that the
concept of scenario planning is as much an art as a practical management
tool.
Shell Global Scenarios to 2025

For over 30 years, the Royal Dutch/Shell Group has used these scenarios

Learning
from the Future : Competitive Foresight Scenarios
by Liam Fahey (Editor), Robert M. Randall (Editor)
This book makes preparing for unpredictable futures a practical part of
every manager’s job. It shows how scenario learning readies companies
for industry and market evolutions and customers’ new needs. Scenario
learning envisions how industry segments may gain or lose profit
potential, how certain technologies could dominate a market or fail to
be accepted, how new trends could propel mass markets, what
circumstances could derail a merger. This new foresight methodology is a
critical source of business advantage. To help readers construct truly
useful scenarios and learn from them, this book offers the latest
insights of 25 internationally known scenario developers. Their case
studies explore rapid technology innovation, regulatory destabilization,
actions by new or traditional competitors, and investment opportunities.
Scenarios:
The Art of Strategic Conversation
by Kees van der Heijden
Eight years (and 30,000 copies) after publication Scenarios is still
acknowledged as the definitive work in the field. Now, Kees van der
Heijden brings his bestseller up to date, following up on his original
case studies and adding significant new material. The Second Edition
changes focus slightly by providing more in-depth analysis and
application of the concept of the 'strategic conversation'. While
maintaining the underlying rigour of the first edition, van der Heijden
revisits the text to make it far more practical and accessible, and in
doing so gives you the tools you need to set out and negotiate a
successful future course for your organization in the face of
significant uncertainty.
