Foresight cards Perspective of change When looking at the development of a random issue we are able to determine the change that has occurred in a certain timespan. We can determine change for all kinds of phenomenons that have already taken place or that might occur in the future. Change can be described by addressing the corresponding “pattern of change”. Van Rijn & Van der Burgt (2012) identified 9 patterns of change in four categories. That helps people to address change in such a way that  they can talk about change in the same way. http://foresightcards.com/background-information/patterns-of-change/ Van Rijn & Van der Burgt (2012) – Handboek Scenarioplanning, www.handboek-scenarioplanning.nl (hoofdstuk1 – free to download) Order the Foresight Cards or Download more free workshops on www.foresightcards.com

Other known acronyms derived from STEEP are: PEST, PESTLE, STEP, STEPJE, STEEPLED, DESTEP and LEPEST. The STEEP acronym is well known and used all over the world as a basis for external analysis.
