Every organization must make assumptions about the future given business leaders do not have a crystal ball to see into the future. Most (if not all) business strategies are based on some assumptions about the entity’s ability to be successful.
While assumptions are a normal part of business, it is important to recognize what assumptions are being made and to evaluate the impact to the business if the assumptions are wrong or change over time. Ignoring risks related to assumptions may be catastrophic.
