Planning From ScenariosRobust: Pursue only those options that would work out well (or at least not hurt you too much) in any of the four scenarios
OR
Bet the Farm / Shaping: Make one clear bet that a certain future will happen — and then do everything you can to help make that scenario a reality
OR
Hedge Your Bets / Wait and See: Make several distinct bets of relatively equal size
OR
Core / Satellite: Place one major bet, with one or more small bets as a hedge against uncertainty, experiments, and real options
