Lack of anticipation of market changes
An industry in constant evolution, marked by volatility and disruption
In an environment characterized by fluctuations in material prices, changes in design trends, and growing consumer demands, a leading company in the furniture sector needed to strengthen its ability to anticipate change. Its strategic planning relied too heavily on linear projections, which limited its agility in the face of uncertainty.
The challenge was to develop a tool that would allow it to visualize alternative futures, identify emerging opportunities, and reduce the risks associated with decisions made in a volatile and competitive environment.
Building plausible futures to make visionary decisions
Scenario modeling and adaptive planning
The Scenario Generation methodology was implemented, combining data analysis, emerging trends, and signs of change to project multiple possible futures. Based on qualitative and quantitative models, different scenarios—probable, plausible, and preferable—were designed to help the organization understand how critical factors such as demand, material costs, and consumer habits could evolve.
The work culminated in strategic prioritization sessions, in which management teams analyzed the potential impact of each scenario on key areas of the business. This led to the establishment of contingency plans and adaptive strategies that strengthened resilience and prepared the company for any future context.
