Scenario Development in the COVID-19 Context

Latest in a few weeks, many SMEs need to think about the mid-term and long-term business perspectives. While nobody really knows how the "new normal" with/after COVID-19 might look like, companies can make use of a relatively old-fashioned 'management' technique called "Scenario Analysis". 
In fact, while many people are try to make it complicated and more and more technology-driven, a "Scenario Analysis" requires primarily five things to be useful:

1. TIME to think about which parts of your future business environment you really need to understand in detail in order to make your business model future-ready. 
2. ABILITY to develop well-structured HYPOTHESES about the future in order to make the right decisions about necessary changes/adaptations. 
3. ACCESS to a diverse group of people (let's call them experts) that can help you to assess your hypotheses from different perspectives in order not to miss anything in today's interdependent world. 
4. An efficient WAY to collect the OPINIONS of these experts; i.e. an Expert Panel / Delphi Study software. 
5. ABILITY to develop SCENARIOS and analyze them to make decisions on a functional level of your organization. 

The ACC-HSG can save you time on 1., teach you how to do 2., make your case to win experts (3.), provide you with the necessary software (4.) and teach you how to 5.
