    Usually there are clues in the requirements.

    > If ‘environment’ is mentioned think about PESTEL and 5 Forces
    > If ‘competitive environment’ is mentioned, think about 5 forces
    > If ‘portfolio’ is mentioned think about BCG
    > If ‘resources’ is mentioned, think about M-words (money, management, manufacturing…)
    >If you are simply asked to appraise the organisation’s position think SWOT, but
    try to feed ideas into that using M-words, PESTEL etc.
