I'm writing an article about scenario thinking – the practice of mapping multiple plausible futures instead of trying to predict a single outcome. The piece is for a general audience of smart, curious professionals who want practical frameworks for navigating uncertainty in their work and life. I'd love your perspective on one or more of the following: – How do you personally think about the future when making big decisions – do you plan for one outcome or consider several? – Can you describe a time when the future unfolded in a way you didn't predict – and what you learned from it about how you plan or prepare? – What's the biggest mistake you see people or organizations make when trying to anticipate what's coming next? – Do you use any mental models, frameworks, or habits to stress-test your assumptions about the future? Please be specific and share real examples where possible. The more concrete and personal, the better.
