scenario analysis  

Definition

  • Scenario analysis attempts to capture the nonlin-earity, complexity, and unpredictability of turbulent environments by incorporating techniques for eliciting and aggregating group judgments, specifically through Delphi techniques and cross-impact matrices. The Delphi technique involves asking an anonymous panel of experts to estimate individually the probability that certain events will occur in the future.
