Quantum² : Quantum² Framework : Environmental Analysis

Environmental Analysis

Every information professional needs to fully understand the organization's "place" in the market space; to understand the economic forces and political and social conditions likely to have an impact on the industry or sector; and to develop familiarity with other players in that industry or sector. It is a strategic move to develop an analysis of, and document regularly, the implications of all the known environmental factors.

Key Questions:

• What trends in the industry could effect my organization or my service offering?
• In tracking the competition, do I detect possible best practices that could benefit my organization?
• Are there any mergers & acquisitions, product changes, or legal and requlatory changes occurring in the industry that should be a proactive tracking offer of the IRC?
