How to Do a Scenario Analysis

Perform a scenario analysis by developing a range of possible events and using a template to understand their impacts on your business. A scenario analysis template enables you to organize your data, visualize different outcomes, and make rational decisions. Scenario analysis is a strategic planning method used to make flexible long-term plans. Here's how to conduct a scenario analysis:  

• Define Objectives Start by clarifying what you want to achieve with the scenario analysis. This could be understanding the impact of a new product launch, market expansion, or changes in the regulatory environment on your business.
• Identify Key Drivers for Change Determine the external forces that could impact your objectives. These might include technological advancements, economic trends, legislative changes, or social dynamics. 
• Gather Data  Collect relevant data on each key driver. This includes historical data, current trends, and expert forecasts. The quality of your scenario analysis depends significantly on the accuracy and relevancy of the data you use.
• Develop Scenarios Using the identified drivers, construct a range of plausible future scenarios. Typically, you should create at least three: one positive (optimistic), one negative (pessimistic), and one neutral (most likely) scenario.

Use a Template to Capture Your Findings  Use a template, such as this article’s simple scenario analysis spreadsheet template to structure your findings. A template helps you organize your scenarios, drivers, and data into a clear format that enables you to visualize different outcomes. It can display key metrics on an easy-to-read dashboard to help with your analysis. 

Enter Your Data  In the template’s Scenario Analysis Data Table , enter your data and select the corresponding scenario condition from the drop-down menu to populate the charts in the Scenario Analysis Dashboard section. 

Analyze Impacts  For each scenario, evaluate the potential impacts on your business by checking the Calculations section of the template. Consider how each scenario could affect your strategic objectives, operations, financial performance, and competitive position.  

• Develop Strategies and Contingency Plans Based on the analysis, devise strategies that would succeed across multiple scenarios. Prepare contingency plans for specific scenarios to mitigate risks or capitalize on opportunities.
• Monitor and Update Scenario analysis is not a one-time activity. Regularly monitor the external environment for signs that a particular scenario might be unfolding. Update your scenarios and plans as necessary to remain aligned with the changing landscape.

By following these steps and utilizing a structured template, you can perform a comprehensive scenario analysis that helps your business navigate uncertainties with greater confidence and strategic agility.

NY governor under fire for saying Black children in Bronx don't know the word 'computer'

by KRISTINA WATROBSKI | The National Desk

ALBANY, N.Y. (TND) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is facing backlash from fellow Democrats after saying Black children living in the Bronx don't know "what the word computer is."

Gov. Hochul attended the Milken Institute Global Conference Monday, an annual gathering of political and business leaders in California. Her controversial remarks came while discussing New York's Empire AI Consortium, an initiative designed to bolster research and development of artificial intelligence in the state.

"No state has done this," Gov. Hochul told journalist Jonathan Capehart. "And in fact, I talked to a lot of other people who said, 'I wish my governor had thought of that first.'"

This is New York," she continued. "We'd like to be first ... we will be the best, we will be the first and I want others to follow because right now we have, you know, young Black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word computer is."

Gov. Hochul went on to note that ensuring there are a variety of voices in technology addresses "society's broader challenges."

The remarks quickly sparked outrage from Democratic lawmakers around New York City, with some calling them "deeply" disturbing and misinformed.

Our children are bright, brilliant, extremely capable, and more than deserving of any opportunities that are extended to other kids," Assemblymember Karina Reeves, D-Westchester Square, said . "Do better."

"The Bronx I know and love is full of children who are smart, curious, and eager for opportunities to learn and grow," Assemblymember Amanda Septimo, D-South Bronx, added . "Repeating harmful stereotypes about one of our most underserved communities, while failing to acknowledge the state's consistent institutional neglect, only perpetuates systems of abuse."

However, others chose to defend the governor. Sen. Luis Sepulveda, D-West Farms, asserted he has "always felt that [Gov. Hochul] cares about the Bronx."

"The governor has visited the Bronx many more times than her predecessors." Sen. Sepulveda noted .

In a statement to The National Desk (TND) Tuesday, Gov. Hochul said she "misspoke" and "regret[s]" her choice of words.

"Of course Black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI," the governor said. "That’s why I've been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my Administration, and will continue that fight to ensure every New Yorker has a shot at a good-paying job."

Hochul apologizes for claiming black children don’t know the meaning of ‘computer’

G ov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has apologized for a comment she made during a presentation on Monday, in which she claimed black children do not know what the word computer means.

The New York governor had been speaking at the Milken Institute Global Conference to discuss Empire AI , an initiative that aims to make New York a leader in artificial intelligence research. During her discussion, she said this initiative aims to make AI more equitable in the state, as there are "young black kids growing up in the Bronx" who do not know the meaning of the word "computer."

Hochul has since explained that she misspoke.

"While discussing my commitment to expanding economic opportunity for communities of color, I misspoke and I regret it," Hochul said in a statement, which her office gave to the Washington Examiner. "Of course black children in the Bronx know what computers are — the problem is that they too often lack access to the technology needed to get on track to high-paying jobs in emerging industries like AI. That’s why I've been focused on increasing economic opportunity since Day One of my Administration, and will continue that fight to ensure every New Yorker has a shot at a good-paying job."

Hochul’s comment received backlash from many users on social media, including some lawmakers in the state. New York State Assembly member Karines Reyes wrote on X that she was “deeply disturbed” by Hochul’s statement.

“Our children are bright, brilliant, extremely capable, and more than deserving of any opportunities that are extended to other kids,” Reyes wrote. “Do better.”

Assembly member John Zaccaro Jr. also criticized the governor’s comment, which he said “troubled” him.
