| Abstract | The environmental scanning system at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education uses a technique developed in the corporate world to systematically gather and evaluate information from the external environment for decision-making within the institution. It is designed to reduce the randomness of information flowing into the organization and provide managers with early warnings of changing external conditions. The University of Georgia system, initiated in 1985, uses volunteer staff members as scanners to systematically and regularly review assigned information resources for emerging trends, changes in previously identified critical trends, or potential events with implications for the organization. Information is reported quarterly, and will be computerized. The Strategic Planning Executive Committee and the Environmental Planning Evaluation Committee review the information, the first for organizational planning and the second for its usefulness as a link with planning. The information and its analysis are disseminated widely in the institution. Since 1985, the system has identified a number of issues critical to some dimension of the Center's operation, and a number of additional benefits to the organization have been noted. Contains 39 references. |
