8.1. The PESTLE framework is designed to identify macro-level influences on a firm or industry,
8.1.1. relative strengths of these drivers
8.1.2. anticipate the changes in these drivers over time
8.1.3. (political, economic, social, technological, legal, environmental)
8.1.4. 1. List external PESTLE factors for the organisation.
8.1.5. 2. Identify the implications of each PESTLE factor for the organisation.
8.1.6. 3. Decide the importance of the implications of the external factors – rank or rate them. Normally this involves assessing their impact over time, impact by type (positive or negative affects) and impact by dynamics (that is, is the significance/importance of the implication increasing, decreasing or remaining unchanged).
8.1.7. 4. Rate the importance of the implication to the organisation. This may be further refined by ranking the likelihood of it happening.
8.1.8. 5. Scenario building: to develop scenarios of different alternative futures for the organisation.
8.1.9. can identify changes that may affect the relative strengths of the forces acting on an industry, and may complement or inform a Five Forces analysis.
