Purposedifferent
When there is uncertainty about the real course of a process, the method brings observation to the place where work happens. It combines perception, follow-up questions, and process knowledge so decisions rest on actual workflows instead of assumptions.PESTLE Analysis makes political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental influences visible.
