Today, real estate managers have to deal with many
uncertainties. The context in which they operate is
highly dynamic. This article discusses how managers can
cope with these uncertainties by using scenario planning
in the decision-making process. However, there is a lot
of misconception about scenario planning. Scenario
planning is not a tool to predict the future, rather a
method to deal with uncertainty. The paper describes how
scenario planning has been used in a research project
that was aimed at defi ning a public real estate
strategy in four different countries. Besides a
description of the method the authors discusses its
usefulness in the policymaking process. pdf
