Scenario Analysis
• Scenario analysis is a technique that provides a
rational and structured way to analyze the future.
3
Businesses can use it to examine different potential
impacts of negative and positive events, such as
• What are the possible impacts on the business of an economic slowdown?
• What happens to revenue and profitability if the cost of various raw materials
rises?
• What revenues might be generated by a new product line?
• How would the business be impacted by the unexpected market entry of new
competitors?

Scenario analysis
• Scenario analysis doesn’t attempt to predict a single outcome from any of
these events. Instead, it examines a spectrum of different potential
situations and outcomes, typically ranging from a best-case to worst-case
scenario. Businesses can then conduct scenario planning to better prepare
for these events and their potential impacts.

5
Cases in Scenario Analysis
• Base-case scenario: A baseline scenario based on current, commonly
accepted assumptions.
• Worst-case scenario: The most negative set of assumptions.
• Best-case scenario: The ideal projected scenario to achieve goals and
objectives.

Benefits of Scenario Analysis
• It helps companies to manage risks more proactively by assessing the
impact of potential future events and situations.
• It can help businesses make better decisions by investigating the risks and
benefits of different options.
• The methodical approach to analyzing the future may enable companies to
spot opportunities or risks that might otherwise be overlooked.
7
Challenges of Scenario Analysis
• Scenario analysis can be a time-consuming process that requires specific
skills and expertise, although modeling tools can help.
• It can be difficult to envision all possible scenarios, make realistic
assumptions and assign probabilities to them.
