Scenarios, a primary outcome of future research endeavors, provide organizations with a glimpse into the environment they may encounter in the future, enabling them to prepare accordingly from today. By envisioning potential future landscapes, organizations can assess whether their goals and strategies align with anticipated developments and whether they are poised to achieve the required performance and efficacy in that future context.

As such, scenarios serve as a safeguard for the organization’s future performance, facilitating strategic intelligence development and fostering an understanding of the future environment.
