They can be both external and internal, and they require the implementation of strategic plans, people, processes, and systems. ACTIONS These ar e strategies that companies can implement to address the effects of drivers on the business. These are the integration of people, processes, and technology. These should be business-based actions first, but they should fully leverage technology-enabled solutions to be relevant for our focus.
