This document discusses assessing a company's strategy using three rings:
1) The micro ring focuses on listening to customers and employees for feedback and new ideas to ensure the strategy still meets their needs.
2) The micro-macro ring looks at new entrants, alternative products, competitor moves, and whether the market has changed to determine if the strategy should be adjusted.
3) The macro ring examines trends, political/economic factors, and whether the strategy still aligns with the changing environment.
