Scenario planning doesn’t have to be negative or take up a lot of resources. When done right it can have enormous benefits for the organization. It can be used as a tool for making decisions during times of ambiguity. Not just during a crisis, but change. What if your industry or organization suddenly found itself in such a growth spurt your greatest fear was imploding?

Look at scenario planning as a pivot versus a negative. Pivot points happen in every organization. How prepared you are can be the difference of taking advantage of a situation or the situation consuming your every decision.

First used by Shell in the 70’s, it’s now widely used in organizations all over the world and further popularized by the United States Coast Guard. The reality is you can use this for any size organization. The approach should be used as part of a larger strategy so you can future proof the organization and anything that could be thrown its way.  

We like simplifying the process. When you look at a simple probability matrix you can be effective and clear to work through any scenario.

The stakes are higher than ever. With each word from anyone in a highly viewed profession being scrutinized, it’s more important than ever before to get your words right. We work behind the scenes with executives and leaders of all kinds to develop authentic messages that resonate. Athletes, entertainers, senior pastors, executives and other leaders, many times have no one to turn for counsel on their communications. The UN/COM Media team is 100% behind the scenes and can advise and help leaders navigate their course and guide them so they can maximize their impact.

We’ve worked with pastors, speakers, authors, athletes, school leaders and others that are in the preverbal fishbowl, and they all have one thing in common; they need clarity in communications.

“Richard gave me insights and a perspective I couldn’t see. It’s hard to just go to your executive team at times. I needed to hear the things my team would not have just told me. Having an outside perspective on how I should approach a situation helped me be prepared and ultimately led me to reevaluate how I looked a variety of situations.”  Brandon M – Executive Director

We put people first. We start with your audience. There is no one size fits all approach. There can't be! UN/COM takes and uncommon appoach to strategy by starting with people. Here's the thing... It's not about you, it's about your customer. It's about people. It always has been and always will be. Many brands today have these generic messages served to a mass audience. That's a mistake. You have to start with people. You have to evolve as your audiences evolves. Let's build a media strategy worth building.
