Make assumptions visible
Every decision rests on a view of the future. Making assumptions explicit helps explain what could challenge a direction and how to monitor the relevant developments.
Explore several scenarios
Scenarios do not predict the future. They help test a decision in different conditions, revealing critical dependencies and options that preserve room to adapt.
Define when to revisit
A long-term decision benefits from clear review points. Leaders can act with a clear direction while retaining the ability to adjust resources when conditions change.
