This resource offers questions to ask and consider during the process. While reviewing your internal systems and programs, now is also a valuable time to review the environment in which your organization is operating to assess and make any adjustments necessary. Remember, none of these assessments should be done solely internally; it is always beneficial to gain perspective of your internal and external stakeholders.
