PEST ANALYSIS
In a PEST analysis, individuals brainstorm the “big picture” characteristics of the organization’s external environment (this could be a community, region, country, etc.) and from this, draw conclusions about significant forces of change operating within it. This exercise provided the Strategic Planning Team with a context for more detailed planning. Similar to a SWOT, the PEST Analysis allowed us to look at the “big picture” factors that might influence our strategic decisions. Below are the Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, and Technology issues that were identified by the Strategic Planning Team as having an impact on NWCHC.
Economic : Increased Inflation High Poverty Aging Population Widening Income Gap
Political : Upcoming Election Lack of Education Support Risk of Grant Loss Sec. 330 Grant Stability
Socio-Cultural : Seasonal Workers
