Oliver Wight Americas has long advocated the use of scenarios to navigate
changing business conditions. With the COVID-19 pandemic, scenario planning has never been more important.
That's why Oliver Wight is helping companies to better utilize scenario planning during this unprecedented time. Oliver Wight shares its expertise through the safe social distance of a webinar, two white papers, and a hands-on virtual workshop (see links below).
In the hands-on workshop, Oliver Wight shows companies how to create scenarios that address business conditions in the near-term as well as the mid- and long-term.
Near-term scenarios are used to quickly adapt to frequent changes in the market and supply chains. Mid-term scenarios help executives better prepare for pandemic recovery. Long-term scenarios help guide business leaders to be ready for the œnew normal, explains Pamelyn Lindsey, Oliver Wight Principal.
œScenario planning should be a routine part of a company's planning process. This is best accomplished when a scenario planning framework is in place, states Chris Groven, Oliver Wight Principal.
Oliver Wight's Integrated Scenario Planning framework dovetails with companies' Integrated Business Planning and Integrated Tactical Planning processes. Integrated Tactical Planning focuses on the immediate time frame. Integrated Business Planning focuses on the mid and long-term, generally at least 4-to-24 months in the future.
œThe value of scenarios is endless. Those companies that perform scenario planning well become agile and responsive without creating internal chaos. They will be best positioned to recover from the pandemic, says Pamelyn Lindsey.
