SITUATION ANALYSIS

in confronting a broad situation to be handled we have of course the problem of finding out what's wrong before we can correct it. This is done by data analysis followed by situation analysis. We do this by grading all data for out-points. We now have a long list of out-points. This is data analysis. We sort the out-points we now have into the principal areas of the scene. The majority will appear in one area. This is situation analysis. We now know what area to handle. (HCO PL 15 May 70)
