Purposedifferent | With high tempo and many parallel topics, the method makes status, deviations, and priorities visible at a glance. It reduces search effort and prevents what matters from getting lost in daily work. | The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict. | PESTLE Analysis makes political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental influences visible.
