Environmental Scanning Defined

At Brookdale Community College, environmental scanning is a planned purposeful process to gather and share information within the college community. The external environment, including social, technological, environmental, economic and political factors, is examined to identify trends or events which could have future implications for the college. By understanding these forces of change, effective responses may be developed in order to plan for the future, identify challenges, be aware of opportunities and gain competitive advantage.
