|
|
4. Prioritize factors by impact x probability
|
|
5. Develop strategic responses:
|
|
- Which factors are opportunities to leverage?
|
|
- Which factors are threats to mitigate or avoid?
|
|
- Which factors require compliance or adaptation?
|
|
6. Identify key metrics or leading indicators to monitor

|
8. Document assumptions and unknowns requiring research

## Notes
|
|
- PESTLE is complementary to SWOT (macro vs. micro analysis)
|
|
- Some factors span multiple categories (e.g., regulations affect legal, political, and economic)
|
|
- Geographic and industry context matter significantly
|
|
- Trends evolve; re-assess PESTLE annually or when markets shift
|
|
- Use PESTLE early in strategy development to avoid blind spots
|
