What is Scenario Planning?
Scenarios
are carefully crafted tales that link certainties and uncertainties about the future to the decisions
that must be made today. The long timescales involved in seeing the results of acting on those decisions
are often refered to as "Long Fuse - Big Bang" problems. The strategic direction any
organisation decides to take will lead to a big bang (good or bad) but can take years to discover if
the decisions were shrewd or not.
This section details the work of Scenario
Planning at VisitScotland and the wider aspects of directing Tourism in Scotland into the future.
