Using your current organization or one you have worked for in the past, what efforts were taken to assess and/or understand its external environment? In your opinion were those efforts active or passive? Were they sufficient? Why or why not?
My previous organization have taken many effort and pain in understanding and accessing the external environment, some of the efforts are mentioned as below:
The efforts were very active and proactive and were not passive. Appropriate seriousness was given to both present and future issues. Prompt action was taken at every point wherein data showed a dip in the revenue. Most of these efforts were sufficient but the political factor was one factor that could have been analysed and was missing.
