The Power of Scenarios to Improve Strategic Decisions

Scenarios and scenario planning are powerful tools that can help us picture how the future might unfold. Through scenarios, decision-makers can imagine future prospects more clearly, grapple with uncertainty, and encourage organizational learning.

At Shell, scenarios been a key feature of strategic planning for more than 40 years, helping to guide decision-makers at major moments in history. In this webinar, Henk Krijnen, Group Projects Economics Advisor for Shell Group, will discuss how Shell has used scenarios to recognize threats and opportunities, to anticipate and manage uncertainty, and to test strategies and improve decision-making.

Henk will be joined by Carl Spetzler, who will discuss the role of scenarios in achieving decision quality (DQ).
