scenario planning for smarter strategies & tactics
Scenario facilitation for leaders
Scenario planning lets you create a range of possible future business contexts to use as a wind tunnel to model to stress-test and better understand how your organisation's strategic choices might hold up in a range of future circumstances.
This is not reductive prediction or quantitative modeling. This is an exploratory, intuitive process. Your leaders improve their collective understanding of their strategic decisions and draws out new options and insights.
Imagine anticipating the future and building a resilient organisation ahead of time.
Turning Leaf will help your organisation harness the power of this powerful technique invented in the 1960s and rediscovered in these times of great uncertainty. Through the scenario planning process, your team will imagine a series of scenarios to help you optimise your commercial strategy and stress-test your resilience to shocks.
Clients find these tests not only help plan for the future but also inspire new and innovative approaches that add value immediately. In other words, stress testing and scenario planning inspire new thinking and better plans in the short term, as well as helping build longer-term resilience.

case study
A client approached Turning Leaf for a scenario planning project designed to stress-test their commercial strategy after some significant uncertainty emerged in their industry.
The client was concerned to understand whether their strategy would be resilient to a range of shocks that might emerge in the economic and political environment.
Turning Leaf facilitated a scenario planning process, starting by identifying critical uncertainties and then developing detailed narratives to bring these new worlds to life. On analysis, it became clear some of these would be favourable to the firm, but others would represent a serious challenge to their business model.
The method improved their strategy, uncovered a major acquisition opportunity and contributed to a stronger risk management practice in the firm.
