| Outside-in systems lens | Examine fiduciary law, ownership, governance, capital allocation, philanthropy, procurement, research, data systems, supply chains, disclosure, regulation, labor, and community-impact processes. For this path, track lobbying and political spending, public commitments, and employee and customer response. |
|---|---|
| Inside-out differentiation lens | Compare institutional type, ownership, beneficiary, stakeholder, geography, time horizon, donor or investor intent, employee voice, community participation, reviewer independence, and differing theories of responsibility. Use those differences to test the scope of Corporate Public Affairs & Institutional Trust; do not treat any group as monolithic. |
