A Brief Overview of The Operational Environment Assessment Model Author: Sheila Buyukacar (Bennett) Source: AFTIT Masters Thesis, 2001 The Operational Environment Assessment Model is a combination of several different techniques common in business management. This analysis approach combines an overall customer oriented and process focus from business re-engineering, the identification of a policy’s characteristics of mission and its surrounding environment is incorporated from strategic management, and guidelines to identify tangible deliverables and activities are included from basic planning steps. Three key components are used to assess a policy’s organization. These components are the policy’s mission or expected result, its environment (external and internal), and the desired or resulting deliverables, activities, and events of the policy (Goodstein, 1993: 17-18).

INTRODUCTION Today, in modern management, decision making plays a critical role in determining functioning, survival and competitiveness of an organization. Everyday, regardless of minor or major, countless decisions are made subconsciously or consciously at every level of management to solve the conflicts and problems faced and implementation of every decision made surely will give certain level of influence or changes to operational activities in the organization. According to managementstudyguide.com, decision making process is always continuous and dynamic for managing any organization or business activities since new problems will keep evolving, where another problem usually will arise after one is solved. The word 'decision' is derived from the Latin word 'decisio' that means “to cut from” (Akrani, G., 2011). According to Trewartha and Newport, decision making “involves the selection of a course of action from among two or more possible alternatives in order to arrive at a solution for a given problem”.
Evaluation “involves the systematic collection of information about the activities, characteristics and outcomes of programs, personnel, and product to reduce uncertainties, improve effectiveness and make decisions with regard to what those programs, personnel, or products are doing and affecting. The benefits of evaluations are: • Assess effectiveness and impact of training • Determine factors that lead to program success or failure • Identify areas for program improvement Evaluations may be undertaken at any time, and they are generally most effective when they are conducted as an integral aspect of the program. Ongoing evaluations provide an opportunity to address training goals and objectives that may have changed over time. For achieving the desired result evaluation has to be based on sound principles. The way that these principles are applied will depend on the context of the evaluation.
