SIGNAL (SCAN HIT) CRITERIA & CONSIDERATIONS
Criteria for signals (scan hits): Source Credibility Newness or Uniqueness Degree of Uncertainty Degree of Impact Momentum
(e.g. converging, slowing down, speeding up)
Effect on Scenario (e.g. more likely, less likely)
Develop quick filters for signal (scan hit) relevance and impact
What signals led to this lagging indicator
of change?

CONSIDERING SIGNAL IMPACT ON INDUSTRY SECTORS
Business Implications Translated into industry language: Does it impact barrier to entry? Can it scale? Does it change industry structure? Does it impact client user experience? Does it impact enterprise IT? Does it challenge existing Talent Development strategies? Does it influence entry or exit strategies for investors? Does it lead to regulatory uncertainties? Does it have a clear business model and defensible moat? Does it push incumbents into innovators dilemma corner?
Imagine describing the signal to your clients

EMERGING ISSUES ANALYSIS
Intersection of Policy Decisions and Growth Strategies
•Emerging issues are those ideas which require a decision in the realm of private or public policy.
• “Will we…?” or “Will we not..?” embrace X policy change for society? (e.g. Data; Personal Micro-UAVs).
•This framework is a first step in understanding when to align business and legal strategy with the developmental stages of emerging issues as they gain acceptance (or not) within society.
