In 2019, a company applied a 2x2 scenario matrix to assess future uncertainties but failed to anticipate the disruptive rise of generative AI and systemic changes referred to as SuperShifts™. These include interconnected forces reshaping society, technology, and economics, making traditional planning methods inadequate. The 2x2 model overlooks the complexities of contemporary transformations, requiring organizations to adopt more sophisticated strategies that account for unpredictability and embrace multi-layered disruptions in a rapidly evolving landscape.
In a world of SuperShifts, planning for the most probable future is no longer enough. We need approaches that embrace complexity, expand foresight, and prepare us for disruptions.
The 2x2 scenario matrix, while familiar, often fails to capture the multidimensional nature of today’s disruptions, leading to inadequate strategic planning.
Generative AI changed the landscape overnight, pushing the boundaries of traditional planning models beyond their limits and requiring a rethink of strategic preparation.
SuperShifts™—transformations like IntelliFusion and Techceleration—illustrate the complexity of today's world, underscoring that no single model can adequately predict future developments.
