Environmental Scanning

Success, according to author/consultant Karl Albrecht in his book, Corporate Radar, is becoming “more and more a matter of riding the 'waves', anticipating and capitalizing on fundamental changes in the business environment."

Environmental Scanning is an effective ‘wave widget’ in management’s strategic planning toolkit – a systematic, ongoing program of searching for important clues about how the world is changing, and how these changes are likely to affect your organization or business.  By detecting ‘pockets of the future’ in the present, monitoring trends, and scrutinizing change processes, active scanners can provide early identification of future threats and help their company or organization profit from emerging opportunities.
