This article reports the results of an exploratory research study with four organizations that participated in scenario planning. The primary research focus was to determine whether participation in scenario planning affects perceptions of individual emotional intelligence. Results show a statistically and practically significant effect, though several limitations are identified that mandate a conservative interpretation of study findings.
