In times of crisis, businesses ask how can we be prepared? Integrated Scenario Planning (ISP) enables organizations to think through the possibilities of events, to minimize unwanted impacts, and realize opportunities.
What is Integrated Scenario Planning (ISP)?
Integrated Scenario Planning is an essential process that ensures that your business is agile and responsive to unforeseen events without creating internal chaos. It is a structured way for organizations to think about the future and manage change. ISP answers the question “What-If?” and enables leadership to consider what future events are probable and important, what the impact would be, and how to respond to or benefit from the given situation. The successful deployment of ISP enables you to manage your company’s risks and maximize opportunities.

Value Of Integrated Scenario Planning
In a crisis, Integrated Scenario Planning deals with situations on a daily and weekly basis and fits into Integrated Tactical Planning. Organizations develop agile response and rapid recovery plans in the short-term planning and execution horizons. It allows you to plan and re-plan to drive better decision-making, adjust in real-time, and prepare for your recovery post-crisis.
