In this paper, we engage with O‟Brien‟s (2004) identification of both pitfalls in teaching scenario planning and proposed remedies for these. We consider these remedies in relation to our own experience based on our practice in both the academic and business arenas and we highlight further pitfalls and proposed remedies. Finally, we propose the use of “hard” multi-attribute decision analysis as...

The modularity means that the modules...

In this paper further results for such inferences are presented, with focus on four important and closely related aspects. First, the effect of defined failure modes which thus far have not yet caused failures is studied. Secondly, the effect of re-defining (groups of) failure modes is considered...
