Alternative Futures Analysis is a strategic planning method that systematically explores multiple plausible future scenarios by varying key driving forces and assumptions, distinguishing itself from other planning methods through its emphasis on uncertainty, long-term dynamics, and the generation of divergent, yet coherent, future trajectories to inform robust decision-making.
