For a company supporting physical operations, policy questions can affect transport, workplace safety and data use; economic conditions can influence customer capital and operating budgets. Social expectations around safer work and accountable operations may change buyer priorities.

This is useful for a connected operations platform because internal capabilities may include elements such as technology, customer understanding, operating processes or the ability to deliver reliable solutions, while constraints may involve complexity, prioritisation or execution demands. Opportunities and threats sit outside the company: changing customer needs, market structure, technology shifts and external requirements can all matter.
