Brilliantly written with a very interesting concept
Review:
Business owners and managers should always be on the lookout
for books that improve their workflow, productivity and the work environment as
a whole. "How to Win in Every
Scenario: Using Scenario Planning to Create Win-Win Solutions in Ukraine and in
Other Complex Situations" by Rom Gayoso introduces the reader to the
concept of Scenario Planning and lays out a foundation of how this technique
serves as an invaluable tool to help managers and strategic planners analyze
the business environment. Gayoso gives
an in depth explanation of Scenario Planning using three public policy examples
(Ukraine Crisis, Stem Cell Research and Renewable Energy) to support his
theory. The author goes on to give details through a five step program to help
the reader practice and learn how to build their own scenarios.
Gayoso's concepts can be applied in many different
situations from teaching us how to understand the behavior of others to
learning how to successfully negotiate. However, business owners, managers and
public policy makers in particular will find that this book is a gem they
simply should not do without if they truly want to understand their environment,
connect with others and are planning to reach the next level. The theory of scenario planning alone can be
overwhelming, but the author did an excellent job explaining the concept by
providing very thorough examples.
In short, this is a great book, brilliantly written with a
very interesting concept that many people can take advantage of and it is
definitely worth the investment many times over. 5 stars
