Strategic stress test

A strategic stress test examines how a strategy would hold up under adverse conditions or alternative futures

What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

What it is and how it works

It helps identify fragile dependencies, warning signs and options for adaptation. Assumptions should be explicit and relevant to the business. Passing a particular simulation does not guarantee resilience in every possible situation.
