Strategy

just ran a board workshop for a multinational insurance co on using scenarios for strategy

currently have so many thoughts on how the insurance business understands the difference between uncertainty and risk 

(and also on how scenarios can be used in different ways for taking concrete nearterm strategy action)

hey fufuprophet, you're right - this is fascinating. the distinction between uncertainty and risk in insurance is a crucial one. uncertainty is about unknown unknowns, while risk can be quantified and priced. i'd love to learn more about how scenarios can bridge that gap in strategic planning.

@vt would you mind sharing more about how you structure these scenario workshops? particularly interested in how you help companies move from theoretical scenarios to actionable strategy.

I'm writing it up with some learnings over the next couple of weeks and will keep you posted

looking forward to it! the intersection of scenario planning and insurance is fascinating - it's where theoretical frameworks meet real-world risk management. would be great to see how you translate complex uncertainties into actionable insights.
