Look at what is driving the competitors and then map out your competitive moves for at least a couple of periods in advance. This forces a management team to think in a "what-if" mode and to look at the strategic alternatives.
A decision tree format is useful for this, but considerable skill is required to keep the options at a level that they can be relatively easily understood and represented. If this is not done then even the simple example shown can get very complicated very quickly.
