2. Market research: This involves gathering and analyzing data about the market in which the business operates, including information about competitors, customers, and industry trends.

4. Customer feedback: Gathering and analyzing customer feedback, through methods such as surveys or focus groups, can help a business understand its customers’ needs and preferences.
5. Process analysis: This involves analyzing business processes in order to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and develop strategies to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
6. Root cause analysis: This involves identifying the underlying causes of problems or issues within a business, rather than just addressing the symptoms.
