Business engineering with Scenario Technique

Companies often find themselves confronted with complexity of increased pressure to ensure their competitive market position. Business engineering should base on the anticipation of weak future signals. The paper describes one approach to this issue - scenario technique. Scenario technique is a special method to catch future business opportunities and risks and allows to involve workshop members, experts and in particular customers. This paper explains two approaches - scenario workshops and scenario projects - as ways of applying scenario technique. The differentiation ensures that the right effort is done to answer the right questions. Both processes scenario workshop and scenario project are illustrated by an example.
