Business Planning-SWOT

I’m working with a client who is now constructing a business/marketing plan. As I mentioned in my last white paper, a SWOT analysis is very helpful in this exercise, and it’s proven to be invaluable for my client. This technique analyzes stengths, weaknesses, opportunites, and threats, and it really helps one focus. It can help to quickly identify areas for improvement and where to really concentrate one’s attention. One important point: when planning, don’t get to the end of the process before bringing in team members and subordinates. You will always get valuable input, and investment management employees generally don’t appreciate a plan which is delivered to them for execution without having had any input.
