The Art of the Long View : Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World

21 November 2017

If there is one book that is head and shoulders above other scenario planning books, this is it. Schwartz’s book is a joy to read and gives a tremendous introduction to the subject, leaving the reader with a firm grounding and understanding in the way that scenario planning has helped many companies gain competitive advantage in their industries. The text includes many case studies and anecdotes making it a must-read book. Peter Schwartz is not only one of the world’s leading scenario planners – but an excellent writer also. (Schwartz has also written a short supplement in 2011 called Learnings from the Long View (UK). (US). which updates and reports on the scenarios in the original book. The update is worth adding to the main book but not as a standalone text).
