| Abstract | A description is provided of a conference session that was conducted to explore the structure and function of an environmental scanning/forecasting system that could be used in a community college to facilitate planning. Introductory comments argue that a college that establishes an environmental scanning and forecasting system is able to identify trends and events that, when forecasted, present both threats and opportunities to the college. Basic concepts and terms are defined next, including "environmental scanning,""trend,""event," and "emerging issues." Next, results are provided from the portion of the session in which participants acted as a planning team conducting an external analysis of Virginia community colleges. These results include lists of the social, technological, economic, and political trends that define the context in which the colleges will function in the coming decade, and lists of particular events, which if they occurred, would affect these trends or the colleges directly. The remainder of the paper provides a brief discussion of the establishment of an environmental scanning/forecasting system at a community college, focusing on the collection and dissemination of environmental information, the determination of key administrators' perceptions of important trends and events, the development of alternative scenarios of possible futures, the analysis of policies, and the development of action plans. Concluding comments emphasize the purpose of environmental scanning. (AJL) |
