    In this episode of Rittener Reflections, I had the honor of spending a few moments with Sheldon Bernard, who is the founder of A440 Management LLC, a firm focused on Special Situations and decision making under uncertainty. He is a trailblazer in the world of applied decision sciences. With over 15 years of experience in “special project” work for Fortune 100 boards and executive teams,
    Together, we discussed the critical necessity for entities to engage in scenario planning during times of uncertainty. Specifically, our conversation covered:

    • Scenario planning, game boarding, and “war games”
    • The importance of anticipating risks and preparing for worst-case scenarios before crises arise
    • Identifying opportunities to readjust and perform ongoing scenario planning during a crisis

    I trust you will find this discussion valuable as you navigate through your own uncertainties.
