Exploring Managerial Responses to Uncertainty Scan documents about scenario planning and horizon scanning—understanding and managing uncertainty August 2020
During the past couple months, Scan has made publicly available two dozen documents that look at societal, commercial, and managerial challenges that the coronavirus-disease-2019 (covid-19) pandemic is creating for decision makers.
Common threads across these documents are the increased level of uncertainty that the covid-19 pandemic is causing and the difficulties of dealing with the future when so much remains impossible to foresee.
The Scan team has decided to assemble a range of discussions from the past six years that look at ways to understand and manage uncertainty.
