Some background in the late 90's there was 6 firms that did scenario planning - with the dot com bust all of them folded except GBN that was acquired by Monitor Group/Shell Oil. The big customers government agencies like the NSA.
We talked about Ipseity - the core identity - the individual point of coordination.
We believe in the concept of scenario planning but the question around what the commercial relevance is.
