What is environmental scanning?
“Environmental
scanning is the art
of systematically
exploring and
interpreting the
external
environment to
better understand
the nature of
trends and drivers
of change and their
likely future impact
on your
organization.”

what it is and how to do it”, slides 20-21. Accessed at Slideshare.com 2
Emerging, Trending, or Wild Card?
What to look for, according to
Conway (2009):
• Use emerging issues to
challenge long-term
assumptions and for “what
if” questions.
• What are the drivers of
trends? Is there a
connection between
trends?
• What are potential wild
cards? [Wild cards are less
likely to occur, but would
be highly disruptive if they
did occur.]
However…
• Not all emerging issues
become trends; not all
trends go mainstream
