This is a straightforward Podcast that reviews environmental analysis (AUDIT) and how it impacts on the strategic direction an organisation might take. Essentially it is about; Where are we now? Where do we want to be? How are we going to get there? The Podcast finishes with an example of how a strategy has to change in the light of changing environmental circumstances.

This is an interesting Podcast in the sense that the interviewee, Nicola Shann was able to illustrate the effectiveness of exhibitions as a communication tool and e-mail as an effective method of direct marketing. Be aware of the specialist nature of the exhibition - Nicola does briefly explain it at the beginning of the Podcast. It was for Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council to highlight 'Beacon Status' which they were recently awarded. Nicola interviews explains how the exhibition benefitted both her organisation and the visitors and how effective e-mail is as a DM tool, she does briefly link it to advertising as well but the major communication tool for the event was e-mail.
