Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Scenarios for Success
Bill Sharpe · 2007
74/100
👍 Worth It
The editors' frontline credentials — van der Heijden at Shell, Sharpe at HP Labs — give this scenario planning guide genuine authority, and it earns its reputation as one of the more practical bridges between foresight theory and real organizational decisions. Some content is dated given post-2007 strategic developments, and the academic tone can be dense, but for executives and strategists navigating uncertainty it remains a substantive resource. A solid professional reference.
