ACMP Global CCMP Exam - Topic 1 Question 23 Discussion

An external environment impact assessment evaluates how external factors (market, social, regulatory) influence the change. ACMP identifies business case, vision statement, and strategic plan as critical inputs. The business case explains rationale and benefits, the vision provides direction, and the strategic plan ensures alignment. Stakeholder analysis (A, B) is internal, while risk plans (D) address implementation risks. Therefore, option C is correct.
