- Put pressure on your business by defining the right set of competitors, both traditional and non-traditional
- Understand how different competitors might realistically react given certain situations
- Define a strategic direction that other people can’t copy or will be set up to win regardless of your competitors
Future Scenario Planning

- Challenge your assumptions and learn something new with experts
- Understand leading indicators from inside and outside of the industry
