Strategic change begins with an awareness state, during which strategic leaders notice major or persistent “blips” on the radar screen and work to recognize, identify and understand what is happening and what to do next while a new course is being plotted. Analyzing this state involves examining trends and key events, both within the internal organization and in the external environment. This state provides the “back story” by setting the historical context, modd and starting cast of characters. At this point of change, a clear strategic initiative has not yet been determined, but the nature of the strategic issue is being clarified.
