Primes¶
- Scenario Planning
- Well-executed scenario work resolves this by identifying "robust strategies" (those that succeed across most scenarios), "contingency points" (moments to reassess and adjust), and "leading indicators" (early signals of which scenario is unfolding) that enable staged commitment rather than bet-the-company decisions made with inadequate information — a balance Mintzberg (1994) saw as the antidote to the planning-as-prediction failure he documented in The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning.
This sourceCritique of strategic planning as prediction; argues that planning's value lies in disciplined reflection and contingency identification rather than forecast-driven commitment, providing the diagnostic frame for scenario planning's robust-strategy/contingency-point/leading-indicator logic.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
