When to use it
Use it when your role or industry faces uncertainty, such as automation or a pending restructure.
How to apply it
- Identify the two biggest uncertainties affecting your career over the next three years.
- Combine them into four distinct scenarios.
- Describe what your role would look like in each scenario.
- List actions that would help you in most or all scenarios and start them now.
- Choose early warning signs for each scenario and review them every few months.
Tip: Scenarios are not forecasts; the value is in preparing actions before you need them.
