As an entrepreneur, especially leading a medium-sized company, can you prepare for the future in a targeted manner? Which methods work and where do you succumb to classic thinking errors when planning for the future? This book shows how companies can develop viable future scenarios for their own market in order to remain successful and profitable in the future. Anyone who thought they were operating in a stable market and were prepared for crises was proven wrong by the Corona pandemic. But even less dramatic influences such as technological disruption, side attacks by competitors from outside the industry, or end-of-life scenarios are massively changing the environment of companies and demand – at the latest now! – a rethink. In this completely revised 2nd edition, the author shows why early planning for the future can be decisive for success, why one should not rely on experience and intuition, and which mistakes should be avoided. In addition, he explains which tools can be used and put together to form a well-founded process with which future, but also crisis, management can be creatively planned. A useful guide for managing directors, executives, marketing managers, and planners in medium-sized companies – with helpful tips, illustrative examples, and an individually adaptable template for a future workshop.
