Fundamentals of S.W.O.T. for First Time Managers
OVERVIEW
S.W.O.T.is a key and fundamental building block in the strategic planning process for
many organizations. It is a required skill in most capstone courses to graduate
with a degree in Business Administration, Marketing or other types of business
functions. And it is used as a common language in Most MBA curriculum. Yet it
has lost some of its lustre and resilience as a defining business and strategic
model over the years.
In
the last several decades academicians and consultants have layered the beauty
and simplicity of S.W.O.T. with needless complications and contrivances that
were more self-serving than functional. The end result being a lumbering kind
of dinosaur that was more vestigial than practical.
We
will change that today! By understanding the fundamentals of S.W.O.T. and how
those fundamentals can be applied, S.W.O.T. will remerge as a tremendously
purposeful tool that can assist an organization in market penetration,
vision/mission congruency, and a greater degree of rapidity toward the
vision/mission by activity alignment of employees.
WHY
SHOULD YOU ATTEND
In
personal development an old saying is, “If you are not making the progress that
you would like to me or that you think you are capable of making it is simply
because your goals are not clearly defined.” In contemporary business we can
modify that to say, ““If your business is not making the progress that you
would like it to me or that you think it is capable of making it is simply
because your strategy is not clearly defined.”
S.W.O.T.analysis
is a method of understanding the planning process. It is simple and to the
point. S.W.O.T. strategic planning can form a common business language within
the company’s culture and be utilized throughout the year, not just during the
strategic planning cycle.
Understood
correctly, S.W.O.T. can be an integral part of the daily management process of
any organization.
If
you are looking for an easy to understand road map to business strategy
success, then understanding S.W.O.T. is essential!
