CREATE AN ACTION PLAN TO ACHIEVE YOUR OBJECTIVES
A critical tool for businesses and decision-making, the SWOT analysis assesses your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats for a clearly identified objective, area or problem.
The SWOT analysis provides:
- An objective framework for understanding the strategy and direction of business proposition, or organizational objective.
- The ability to understand what needs to be done to strengthen your position in the marketplace, determine the commercial viability of a new venture, provide insight into a new product or service launch.
- Clarity on other business decisions including an acquisition, investment, or partnership, or the decision to outsource a service, or change a supplier.
- A robust analysis that goes far beyond a list of pros and cons, enabling proactive thinking rather than habitual or instinctive reactions.
A SWOT Analysis by itself is not enough. At DVP Advisors, we take it two steps further to create an actionable plan so you can implement what you learn.
Step One: Once the metrics have been developed for each area the SWOT analysis, DVP Advisors creates numerous Action Steps that will maximize your Strengths, offset your Weaknesses, leverage the Opportunities and neutralize the Threats.
Step Two: Once we review and discuss the Action Steps report with you, we create a strategic Action Plan to prioritize your activities over a well-defined timeframe. Many clients engage us to help with the implementation of the Action Plan. Almost all engage us as Accountability Partners, to monitor their implementation.
