Development of plans and scenarios
It's important to remember that the world is always changing, even if we don't always notice it. We often overlook the sheer number of changes that have already happened, which makes us think that significant future changes are unlikely. But if we look at the present, we can see that change is inevitable and can even happen in the near future.
