What is it all about?“Environmental scanning in a strategic sense
is about building a global context for your work, your organization, your competitive
environment, and your industry. It is about recognising that the future is unlikely to be
anything like the past, and that we therefore need to spend some time understanding the trends and likely influencers on the future of our organizations. High quality scanning is
the core of effective futures work”.
Maree Conway (2009)

A simple definition
“Careful monitoring of a firm’s internal and external environments for detecting early
signs of opportunities and threats that may influence its current and future plans. In comparison ‘surveillance’ is confined to a
specific objective or narrow sector.” (www.businessdictionary.com)
![Page 6: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Approaches to scanning
• Ad-hoc – unstructured• Regular – perhaps linked to planning
cycle• Continuous• IMPORTANT – need structure and
purpose to be systematic
![Page 7: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Terminology
• Event or scanning “hit”• Trend – suggests a pattern of change• Driver of change – broad in scope and
long term• World view – how you see the world
BUT beware because it influences what you ignore!
![Page 8: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Aims of environmental scanning
• Identify the relevant information for you– Trends – generally known about– Weak signals – on the horizon – harder to spot
• Avoid surprises– Risk aware, not risk averse– Can then manage risk
• A written report– Reality check– Words make an audit trail
• Respond, rather than just react
![Page 9: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Process
• Input – information gathering• Analysis – what does it mean?• Interpretation – how does it affect you?• Prospection – what might happen?
(could develop scenarios)
![Page 10: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Feeds into planning - SWOT
• Strengths – mainly internal• Weaknesses – mainly internal• Opportunities – mainly external• Threats – mainly external
![Page 11: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Time-frame
• At least 5 – 10 years• Don’t be afraid to go further• BUT, heavy political influence points to
rapid short term change
![Page 12: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Assessing relevance of trends• Scoring system
– Time-frame– Scope– Impact– Likelihood– Urgency
• Responses – act now, manage or watch• Beware counter-trends• Beware “wild cards” high impact/low probability
![Page 13: Chartered Institute of Housing North West Conference 24 March 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062714/56649d2d5503460f94a030f5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

The signs were ignored – hubris!
