Summary: Clear and useful
Review: This is a very straightforward guide to scenario planning and scenario thinking in the development of public policy and in the public sector. It is relatively short, clearly written, and has excellent references to material on the Internet as well as a good bibliography.
It has four parts. The first two provide case studies of the use of scenarios in public policy and in public sector organizations respectively. Part 3 is a step-bystep guide to the process of scenario planning. Part 4 is titled Scenario Thinking and describes the role of scenarios in catalyzing organizational learning.
