Cordial Care Center Environmental Scan and SWOT Analysis

Dr. Coralene Quimby-Worrell
Purpose of Environmental Analysis
The environmental analysis will contribute a significant role in
the organization's strategic plan by identifying potential and
current opportunities or probable threats in external settings. As
stated by Pourmohammadi & Shojaei (2020), a detailed
assessment of environmental factors contributes a significant
role in establishing an organization's failures and success. Well-

4. conducted environmental analysis in a strategic plan entails a
critical impact on the organization's success in selecting a
strategy. An environmental analysis will help the Cordial Care
Center determine opportunities and threats and also assist the
institution in directing the business efforts to areas they are
required to be focused on. When creating a strategic plan, the
organization requires assessing the external environmental
factors that may influence the organization's success. For
instance, if there is going to be a solid or weak economy when
the company is set up, there may be a requirement to channel
more money on advertising or providing extra services to attract
more clients. Identifying the technolo gical, political, social, and
economic factors that may influence business growth is the key
aim of the environmental analysis.
The implication of Environmental Analysis in the Creation of
the Strategic Plan
There are numerous aspects that can influence or affect the
success of the Cordial Care Center which ranges from
economic, political, and social factors to technological factors.
It is significant that the organization assesses all these factors
independently, and determines how it may influence the success
of the care center. For instance, if the government and the
regulatory agencies have secondary restrictions, it may
negatively influence the business operations. By conducting an
environmental analysis, an organization must formulate
measures to counteract and align itself to the changes that may
ensue from the external environment in the future (Arthur,
2019). Creating a strategic plan will aid in directing the actions
of the Cordial Care Center as a new business. Since external
environmental analysis helps a business identify potential
opportunities and threats, it means that when creating a
strategic plan, it will include specific measures to be used when
capitalizing on the opportunities and mitigating the threats to
enable the business to realize its set goals.
Evolving External Issues
The evolving external issues that can impact the strategic plan

5. are related to regulatory, legal, and economic factors. A
healthcare organization cannot create a strategic plan without
investigating the trends in the evolving regulatory, legal, or
economic issues and their components. An organization should
create a strategic plan reflecting on these issues to warrant
successful navigation in a constantly evolving market
environment. Some of the constantly evolving issues comprise
compliance with consumer protection and environmental laws,
which is a legal issue. Taxation is an economic issue, and
workplace safety and health laws are enacted by health
regulatory agencies (Pourmohammadi & Shojaei, 2020).
Implementing a new law on workplace safety measures may
impact the already created operational, strategic plan. It does
not have strategies to be followed to ensure compliance with the
new safety measures. In such cases, healthcare management is
forced to restructure the strategic plan due to new changes.
Benefits of Competitive Analysis
Competitive analysis entails listing the number and nature of
rivals presenting an indirect or direct threat to a business.
Competitive analysis can offer ambitious enterprisers a luci d
comprehension of the marketplace conditions in a sector they
are planning to venture into or assist already operational
businesses refining their strategic directions (Adom & Som,
2018). Conducting a competitive analysis helps businesses get a
clear picture of marketing strategies used by competitors,
market trends, competitors' product development techniques,
and market gaps. In the current business world, marketers
concentrate on selling benefits and values rather than services
and products. Carrying out competitive analysis during the
strategic planning process will help strategic planners identify
marketing strategies used by competitors and develop strategies
that will help the business position its brand well by giving
customers benefits and value.
On another point, a competitive analysis can discover numerous
trends in the marketplace, giving a business the benefit of being
in a position to spot opportunities for differentiating its services

6. and products. Concerning market gaps, competitive analysis
enables strategic planners to create matrixes for identifying
underserved or un-served gaps in the market. A competitor map
is a strategic planning tool that sets out competitors in terms of
their unique service models, determining where they fit on a
matrix with extremes ranging from high customization to low
customization, high quality to low quality, and high price to low
price (Adom & Som, 2018). This is of great benefit as it will
enable strategic planners to determine the pricing strategies and
create strategies to ensure high-quality products and services,
which will enable the business to gain a competitive advantage.
The Cordial Care Center Ability to Accomplish Set Mission,
Goals, and Objectives
As per the SWOT analysis, one of the identified organization
strengths is the availability of capital. Availability of capital
will help Cordial Care Center achieve its goal of providing five -
star quality services through organizational innovation. Cordial
Care Center will budget its finances well to acquire new
valuable technology to provide five-star quality services. A
second strength is the highly skilled employees. With highly
skilled employees, the organization will accomplish its
objective of serving the elderly through dedicated services.
Cordial Care Center has an opportunity to the extent of its
operations in rural areas that competitors neglect. This can help
the organization achieve its growth and development goal
through service expansion. With the organization having the
opportunity to diversify its services due to low competition in
its market segment, this can help Cordial Care Center achieve
its long objective of providing services to non-residents and
residents aged 60 years and above.
With the organization's weakness of providing healthcare
service only to the elderly population, this may make it difficult
for Cordial Care Center to achieve its set mission of following
the healthcare system to meet the needs of patients by providing
services to them. The fact that the organization serves the
elderly population alone means that it does not meet the needs

7. of young patients. Ever-changing government policies on
provision pose a threat to the organization, making it
challenging for Cordial Care Center to achieve its set mission,
goals, and objectives.
Responding to Internal and External Changes
An organization responds to internal and external changes using
different strategies and ways depending on the type and the
scope of the change. Internal changes comprise those that stem
from the organization setting and which the organization has
complete control. Some internal changes can be related to
conditions of the organization, events, structure, systems, and
people, basically employees (Pourmohammadi & Shojaei, 2020).
With Cordial Care Center having highly skilled and competent
affiliated staff members, it can deal with changes related to the
operating system as the employees can learn new systems
quickly due to their high skills. Since Cordial Care Center
embraces teamwork in its operation, it can respond to any
change relating to organizational conditions like addressing
cases of low-quality services delivered to customers.
On the other hand, external changes stem from outside the
organization and can be attributed to politics, customer
competition, technology, economic changes, legal and
government changes (Pourmohammadi & Shojaei, 2020). As
Cordial Care Center is headed by a hospital administrator under
whom the care center networks support, it will learn of any new
proposed legal changes to be implemented in the future. This
will allow the organization to develop new strategies meant to
ensure compliance with new legal policies once enacted. On
another point, Cordial Care Center values integrity; it will
adhere to any economic changes such as tax requirements.
Cordial Care Center Goals and Objective for three years
The organization has set clearly stated goals and objectives with
SWOT Analysis findings for three years, as discussed below.
1st Year Goals and Objectives
· Becoming financial stable within nine months
Cordial Care Center aims to become financially stable within

8. nine months within the first year of operation, which signifies

organization and effective management of funds.
· Acquiring and implementing all technological systems within

of this goal are to increase efficiency and modernize operations.
2nd Year Goals and Objectives
· Increasing market share by 15% within fifteen months
Cordial Care Center aims to capture more markets within fifteen

locations. The objectives, in this case, are expanding to new
markets and intensifying service delivery.
· Reducing operational expenses by 25% within seventeen
months
With technological systems implemented in the first year of
operation, Cordial Care Center aims to reduce its operational
expenses. The objectives, in this case, are low costs of service
delivery and budget cut.
3rd Year Goals and Objectives
· Setting fully operational branch in California State

operates in a market with few competitors, it has the
opportunity to expand its services to other regions. In this case,
the healthcare center aims to have set up a fully operational
branch in California State by the sixth month of the third year.
The objectives here are growth and development.
· Ensuring staff specialization and increased competency
