Horizon Scanning & Scenario Testing

What is horizon scanning & scenario testing - and why it matters?

Horizon scanning and scenario testing help organisations anticipate future risks and assess potential impacts. They support forward-looking decision-making and improve resilience.

Without this, organisations remain reactive, responding to events rather than preparing for them.

Common challenges

Organisations often focus on current risks, with limited visibility of emerging threats. Scenario testing is either not performed or lacks structure and relevance.

This leads to missed risks and limited preparedness.

What good looks like

Emerging risks are identified early through structured horizon scanning. Scenario testing is used to explore potential impacts and inform decision-making.

This enables organisations to respond proactively and build resilience.
