Some traps to avoid in Scenario Planning:
- Treating scenarios as forecasts
- Constructing scenarios based on too simplistic a difference, such as optimistic and pessimistic
- Failing to make scenario global enough in scope
- Failing to focus scenarios in areas of potential impact on the business
- Treating scenarios as an informational or instructional tool rather than for participative learning/ strategy formation
- Not having an adequate process for engaging executive teams in the scenario planing process
- Failing to put enough imaginative stimulus into the scenario design
- Not using an experienced facilitator
