Workforce Planning Scenarios 

Scenario planning involves creating distinct, plausible stories about the future to test the resilience of your workforce strategy. 

Common scenarios include: 

1. Growth: What if we acquire a competitor or demand surges? 

2. Recession: What if we need to reduce costs by 15%? 

3. Disruption: What if a new technology makes a key skill obsolete? 

4. Status Quo: What if things continue as expected? For each scenario, you model the impact on workforce demand and assess whether your current strategy would succeed or fail. 

This builds organizational agility and prepares you for uncertainty instead of being caught off guard.
