Discover how sensitivity analysis and scenario planning can improve your company's decisions. You'll also learn tools to obtain and communicate the insights from this analysis.


Sensitivity analysis is the process of varying inputs to a model to assess their impact on the outcomes (i.e., outputs) of the model. This allows you to identify the model inputs that have the biggest impact on the outputs (e.g., profit). This improves decision efficiency and effectiveness. You also get a clear picture of the company's full range of potential outcomes.

Scenario planning explores projections in which multiple assumptions have been changed from the base case or current conditions. Scenario planning allows outcomes to reflect the correlation of multiple assumptions, which may cause their impact to increase exponentially versus a change by any one of the assumptions. Scenarios can explore opportunities for which the company wants to prepare or risks for which the company should take mitigation steps.
