Overview
Decision-making and new strategic initiatives in your business should be done only after undertaking a detailed analysis of your business environment. This process sets a realistic picture of your current situation and shows you the steps to take, or gaps that must be filled, to achieve your vision of the desired future state.
Multiple perspectives are required to accurately identify current opportunities and challenges and to avoid oversimplifying the situation or subjective thinking.
