STEEP Structured Scanning
STEEP structured scanning is a categorized horizon-scanning method that systematically sweeps the external environment for signals of change and sorts them into five domains — Social, Technological, Economic, Environmental, and Political. By imposing a fixed five-part taxonomy on an otherwise unbounded flood of information, STEEP forces analysts to look beyond the dimensions they habitually monitor and to give balanced attention to forces that might otherwise be ignored. The framework operationalizes the input or scanning stage of Joseph Voros's generic foresight process, providing the raw material of signals, trends, and emerging issues that later analysis interprets. As documented in the Millennium Project's Futures Research Methodology, categorized scanning is one of the foundational practices of strategic foresight, valued precisely because its discipline counteracts the natural tendency to over-monitor the familiar and under-monitor the surprising.
