The overall objective of the Environmental and Horizon Scans is to assess trends in the current and future, internal and external environments, to determine their relationship with the Community’s future direction by_
Assessing the current environment for developing the Results-focused Community Strategic Plan 2020, and the future environment within which it will be implemented, using strategic foresight tools and undertaking a PESTEL and/or SWOT analysis at the National, Regional and International levels, and citing best practice and challenges. The Scan will profile Strategic Pillar based on the current and future environments, which will inform the development of the Issues Paper, and form the foundation for developing the Results-focused Community Strategic Plan 2020. A Report of the Scans will also be developed.
