Mixed-Scanning

Mixed-scanning is a decision-making approach that combines two strategies: focused scanning and broad scanning. In focused scanning, you analyze specific areas in detail, while in broad scanning, you look at a wider range of information without in-depth analysis. By using mixed-scanning, individuals and organizations can efficiently gather relevant data, balancing depth and breadth. This method allows for more informed decisions by assessing critical details of important issues while also keeping an eye on broader trends and potential opportunities or threats. It’s particularly useful in complex environments where both specifics and overall context matter.
