Learn to build and develop scenarios for political and geopolitical risk, global uncertainties and international security.

Step by step, you will learn to build a complete set of scenarios, with narratives and dedicated indicators. You will also learn to find out the probability of each scenario.

As a result, your scenarios will truly be fully actionable, while you will be able to use them for warning.

Throughout this course, you will find answers notably to the following questions:

  • What are scenarios and how do we build them?
  • What is the use of scenarios?
  • How can we synthesise the factors or variables identified as crucial for our issue or risk?
  • What are narratives and why do we use them?
  • What is a scenario-tree?
  • What are indicators? How to select them?
  • Do we need probabilities? How do we estimate probability for scenarios?
