DIN SPEC 35811:2014
Scenario Planning - Guidelines for decision making processes dealing with climate change; Text in German and English
DIN SPEC 35811 will assist (small and medium sized) enterprises from all fields to adapt to future challenges. It is applicable to companies, industries, and private and public sector organizations. Companies without a strategy department are especially set to benefit from the application. Within a scenario process companies identify future challenges that might shape their business, such as climate change, demographic change, or technological change. They develop possible pictures of the future, based on these, derive potential adaptation measures. In this multistep process, the companies are optionally accompanied by consultants. The process itself can be implemented either individually orwithin a group of companies. Furthermore, the PAS is related to the ISO 14000 Standard series on environmental management systems, especially DIN EN ISO 14001. DIN SPEC 35811 has been prepared within the research project REGKLAM (Regional Climate Change Adaptation Program for the Dresden model region; FKZ: 01 LR 0802), which was funded by the German Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF).
