What a PESTLE analysis is.
PESTLE is a framework for examining external forces that affect a decision: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental. It helps teams look beyond internal strengths and weaknesses.
Use specific, observable factors in each category, then assess their impact and uncertainty. Link the important factors to research, monitoring, scenarios, or a strategic choice.
