Introduction
• Many large organisations are developing sets of scenarios to test their strategies and decisions, so they can recognise signs of change early and adjust to different business conditions
• The future is fundamentally unpredictable and unknowable • Consider the computer power going into weather
forecasting• Having a great deal of data is not useful• The future is not an extrapolation of the past

Purpose of Scenario Thinking
Purpose of Systems Thinking
To influence the assumptions we make about how the world we may live, could plausibly unfold (Microcosm/Macrocosm)
To look below the surface at patterns of behaviour and causal relationships, between key variables which are often hidden from view
Common Mistakes
• Put all the good news in one scenario, and all the bad news in another
• Best case, worst case and status quo scenarios• Developing implausible unrealistic scenarios• Falling into the probability trap• Stopping when the scenarios are completed

Now is the time for a set of plausible SA Energy Scenarios
