About this course

Operating Environment Intelligence for commercial firms: read the market and brief an entry, expansion, or partnership decision leaders can act on.

Every consequential decision is made inside an environment the organization does not control. This program teaches a repeatable discipline for reading that environment, judging what it means, and giving a decision-maker something to act on. Nineteen skills in five modules follow five pillars: Frame, Scan, Connect, Judge, and Deliver. You bring a live decision from your own organization, and by the end you hold a completed estimate on it, not notes about a method. It is not a forecasting course and it does not teach research collection.

Meridian Care Partners, a 900-employee outpatient rehabilitation and occupational-health provider in four metro markets, has ninety days to recommend whether to enter, partner, or decline in a fifth, while the dominant hospital system merges and a state reimbursement rule is under revision.

What you will be able to do

  • Frame an assigned analytic task as a bounded decision, scope it, and produce a rated assumption ledger.
  • Conduct a complete eight-domain BEARINGS Scan, grade all sources, card all findings, and produce a ranked Blank Map.
  • Build a cited Link Grid from a card set, run three-order consequence chains, score available leverage points, and classify changes as drift or jolt.
  • Test evidence against competing explanations, run a structured bias sweep, assign calibrated confidence, and convert findings into so-what lines.
  • Produce a one-page estimate, build a watchboard, deliver a ninety-second verbal read, and set a refresh rhythm.

Who it is for

Commercial firms making market-entry, expansion, siting, partnership, and competitive-response decisions. You bring a live decision from your own organization and work it through the whole program.

This edition's scenarios, examples, and vocabulary are set in a company. The objectives and standards are the same in every edition.
