Arthur,

I 'm not sure what remains to be debated after the near fatal wounding you
attempted against the subject of Strategic Scenarios in you post. If,
however, you can sustain your emotional and intellectual pique for about
10 days, (I have business in Central America to attend to), I would be
happy to engage you on the subject. I hope Ben is still interested as
well as any others. Peter Schwartz, I believe, called Strategic Scenarios
an art for a particular reason. As such, I at least, understood such a
planning process to be iterative and temporary. As human beings we are
constantly traveling along a route guided by our values and beliefs about
the future. We may not recognize this a deliberate, strategic plannig but
the consequence is certainly the same. Like so much else that we dialogue
about here, strategic scenarios are tools in the organizational kit. I
don't believe anyone sees them as the pursuit of optima.

Yours in learning,
William
