Stop Planning Your Career in a Straight Line – How Scenario Planning Builds Future-Ready Professionals

Traditional career planning assumes stability:

“If I do A, I’ll get to B.”

That used to work when industries evolved slowly. But today, automation, AI, global shifts, and new work models make linear plans fragile.

Here’s the risk:

• You train for a role that disappears.

• You build a brand for an industry that changes direction.

• You commit years before testing your assumptions.

Straight-line planning gives a false sense of control. Scenario Planning, on the other hand, builds flexibility, creativity, and resilience.
