The current technology-driven turbulent business environment presents many challenges to business managers. One primary challenge is the ability to predict and plan for the unexpectedly unpredictable future. Changes are constant. Companies struggle to find ways to manage resources and find ways to thrive and survive in this turbulent business environment.

  • Too time consuming
  • Based on assumptions that may not be valid
