Water scenario plan seen as way of stimulating innovative responses to crisis

An international scenario planner has teamed up with conservation organisation WWF to chart scenarios for South Africa’s water future in light of the country’s precarious position as a water-stressed country, as well as the recent drought, which caused serious social and economic damage. The Boston Consulting Group’s Alan Iny, who is an expert in scenario planning based in New York, says the exercise is designed to stimulate creative responses to the crisis and create a platform for governmental, nongovernmental and business stakeholders to collaborate on possible solutions.
