SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is popular and very intuitive method of evaluation a business or an individual or any project. It is used in many situations of strategic analysis especially in first stage of project. This type of analysis can be useful to evaluate your business, product, job or employer.

Main feature of SWOT describes subject in four aspects: Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities and Threats. First two categories are internal features. They are independent from environment. Second two categories are external features. They enrich evaluation of all factors that are independent on you.

To all feature can be assigned weight. Sum of this weight (strengths and opportunities will improve the result, weakness and threats will worsen the result) is result of analysis.

What makes SWOT especially powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you uncover opportunities that you would not otherwise have spotted. And by understanding your weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate threats that might otherwise hurt your ability to move forward.

If you look at yourself using the SWOT framework, you can start to separate yourself from your peers, and further develop the specialized talents and abilities you need to advance your business or career and help you achieve your personal goals.

Small businesses trying to gain a competitive advantage on industry giants must continually analyze each facet of the company strategy and operations. The SWOT analysis can help develop a plan for the future by reviewing the organization's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The SWOT analysis considers internal and external issues individual to each company.

SWOT is only first stage of evaluation of your project but is easy and give complete view from the beginning.

Strengths:

The strengths of an organization consist of the advantages a business may possess compared to its opponents. These may include a healthy financial state, suitable place, reduced and controlled overhead expenditures, or other factors that may be favorable for the organization.

Consider this from your own perspective, and from the point of view of the people around you. And don't be modest or shy – be as objective as you can. Knowing and using your strengths can make you happier and more fulfilled at work.

And if you still have any difficulty identifying your strengths, write down a list of your personal characteristics. Some of these will hopefully be strengths!

Weaknesses:

The weaknesses comprise the areas that are not adequately equipped when compared to other market organizations. These weaknesses may be related to finances, human force, market conditions, technology, or other factors. The following questions will be used to determine the organizational weaknesses.

Again, consider this from a personal/internal perspective and an external perspective. Do other people see weaknesses that you don't see? Do co-workers consistently outperform you in key areas? Be realistic – it's best to face any unpleasant truths as soon as possible.

Opportunities:

These are the indicators that provide guidance for company growth, improvement of financial status, and enhancement of market share. The product customers and market conditions are examined to seize the opportunities being offered. For example, a particular product is required and is not available in the market. There is a huge opportunity that may be availed by the adoption of appropriate strategy.

You might find useful opportunities in the following:

  • Networking events, educational classes, or conferences.
  • A colleague going on an extended leave. Could you take on some of this person's projects to gain experience?
  • A new role or project that forces you to learn new skills, like public speaking or international relations.
  • A company expansion or acquisition. Do you have specific skills (like a second language) that could help with the process?

Also, importantly, look at your strengths, and ask yourself whether these open up any opportunities – and look at your weaknesses, and ask yourself whether you could open up opportunities by eliminating those weaknesses.

Threats:

Threats are basically the unfavorable conditions that may critically damage the business, like exceptional rent increase, non-availability of skilled manpower, political unrest, exceptional inflation that may reduce purchasing power, and adverse market conditions. The following SWOT questions will facilitate the evaluation of threats being created for the organization.

Performing this analysis will often provide key information – it can point out what needs to be done and put problems into perspective.

What I Do

What I DoI work extensively with creative entrepreneurs. In particular, those that are working too hard for too little return, having problems executing on all of the brilliant ideas they have and are struggling to find the right people for their team and vision.

I work with you using systems and processes tested by trial and error over many years that enable you to get your business performing the way it should be, align your people to your vision and values and get a better return whilst not having to work so hard.

I help you to take more control of your business, of your team, of your future, of your life & of the pressures you face - and to enjoy the journey more!

I create challenging, enjoyable, and impactful ways of focusing on the things you need to pay more attention to help you to survive and thrive!

I am motivated by curiosity, by being part of stimulating change for the better, by working with people who like to be stretched or challenged, and with people who are willing to commit to change.

For example, if you need to develop a new life or company strategy, I’ll help you to do that.

I help you with your clarity of purpose / vision and a path to follow, giving you confidence, validation, support, inspiration, provocation and motivation.

I help you learn and apply the “business DNA” you need to achieve your goals.

As so much of what makes a business unique and effective is its people, my focus on people issues is strong.

That’s what I do as a “business performance strategist”.

In short, I help you get what you want!
Sunday, 24 September 2017 13:17

My Approach

My ApproachI am variously an enabler, a catalyst, a teacher, a coach, a mentor, a facilitator and a new pair of eyes and ears.

I make no assumptions about your potential or limitations so I listen very carefully and absorb your needs, values and aspirations.

I trust my instincts, skills, experience and intelligence as tools that can help you to be successful. I also have a huge (and growing) toolbox of methods and ideas to share. I love to learn, and I draw on a wide variety of sources to find ideas that really work.

I believe in working in partnership along the path towards your success, although you must take your own decisions and make your own commitment to action. This means that in the end everything that you achieve belongs completely to you.

I like to have some fun along the way. I like to ask questions that cause you to think and see things in new ways. I have a heart as well as a brain and get passionate about what I do whilst maintaining objectivity and professionalism.

I thrive on seeing people create much better futures for themselves, and especially during those “light bulb” moments when they suddenly see, feel or understand things in a new way.

My approach is holistic and most importantly, is focussed around your goals and values. It is after all, your business.

It has been described as "a personal trainer for business".

I find that most people love what they do. They provide amazing services. But they don’t necessarily fully understand how to run their business, and they think something must be wrong with them personally.

Nothing’s wrong with them! It’s just that no one has ever taught them what to do!

The old model of business is “work hard and get people to buy your stuff.” The new model is Authenticity, Service and Wealth.

When you learn to create your business in the new model, people thank you for being successful. They thank you for who you are and what you’ve created. (You get to thank them too!)

MY APPROACH TO BUSINESS SUCCESS

Your business can be successful based on a combination of optimizing factors.  The end result will be more income for you.  Success is that simple.  I believe that the following factors are crucial for a successful business:

Cultivating Relationships

Business is all about relationships.  The success of your business depends on how you form and maintain relationships with others.  This includes your co-owners, employees, and customers.  Business owners often overlook how central this factor is and forget to emphasize it with their employees.  I will help you evaluate the personal dynamics of your work environment and how they are affecting your business, and provide a new plan for successful communication that includes employee management and customer service skills.

Optimizing Confidence

The biggest barrier to the growth of your business can be your own fear.  Personal fears can be both rational and irrational, commonly existing around issues such as being good enough, selling yourself, and indecision about giving your business the time and commitment that is needed for its growth.  These fears need to be addressed in order for your confidence, and your business, to grow.  I will help you identify personal barriers that hold you back in the marketing of your business and teach you new skills so that you can promote yourself and your business with confidence.

Identifying Your Niche

Your strengths and talents are why people frequent your business.  Rather than just existing in a competitive market, learn to identify and focus on what makes you and your business unique so that you can stand out above others.  I will help you realize your unique strengths and develop a custom-designed marketing plan that includes speaking about your business confidently in order to create desire.

Keeping a Pulse on Marketplace Trends

Even successful businesses become complacent over time.  The perception of your business as being stale or stagnant is not what you want your customer to walk away with.  You can maintain your niche and make changes that lend a fresh tone to your business at the same time.  I will help you learn to conduct market research to keep up with new trends in order to appeal to new customers and create reasons for your existing customers to continue coming back.

My Philosophy

bgt05565Quiddity – higher purpose business

What is Quiddity?

Quiddity is the quality that makes a thing what it is; the essential nature or essence of a thing - literally its "what-ness" or "what it is". So Quddity business is the 'is-ness' in business.

And “higher purpose business”?

This is about bringing soul to business and business to soul.

Why? Because it is manifest that the best way to build your business successfully is to ensure it serves your higher purpose.

William Shakespeare said that “All the world is a stage and all the men and women merely players.” That’s why I say that every business is a performance.

There are 4 key areas of performance that enable the business to be successfully staged. Without even one of these elements, the business is imbalanced and will be unable to sustain successful performances over the long haul.  

Script What you will do, how you will do it and how you want to be whilst doing it. This includes your strategy, your reasons for being in business, your unique positioning, business planning, innovation, style, values etc

Cast The leadership and other people in the business, their skills, knowledge, growth potential, values, chemistry and culture (“the intangibles”).

Production All the systems necessary to support the script. For example operations, administration, finance, production, distribution, IT, security & safety, corporate governance etc.

Audience This is the reason for your performance! It incorporates your marketplace, which includes current clients, potential customers, competitors, collaborators, client service, sales, marketing and PR.

Operating successfully on your Business Stage means having the right balance of each of these elements that will ensure an “ongoing blockbuster” done your way.
