A useful tool for any business aimed at assessing Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats in order to develop the best possible strategy and path to success. Useful for a business overall but also for specific projects and for individuals wanting to reflect on their present and future.
SWOT Analysis is a useful technique for understanding your Strengths and Weaknesses, and for identifying both the Opportunities open to you and the Threats you face.
Competitive Intelligence and Market Research in IT: How to Apply it in IT Com...CleverToday
This presentation was given by Corelia Kostovic, Digital Strategist & Market Analyst, during the first edition Women Techmakers in Montreal in March 12st.
One of the reasons why SaaS startups fail to convince investors is because they underestimate the competition. Prior to and throughout the investment process, investors are constantly challenging entrepreneurs so they can master their market, from building their customer base to outmaneuvering their competitors, to ensure the success of their product. In the mean time, startups enter the market and disrupt traditional stakeholders.
Established IT companies are fundamentally challenged as well, and should be keenly aware of these startups' activities to evaluate if they are a serious threat, or an M&A opportunity. Therefore, innovation is the greatest pressure faced in IT, because it defines our competitive advantage in terms of product strategy and customer satisfaction.
Competitive Intelligence (CI) and Market Research (MR) are key methods to:
- understand your customers' expectations: key buying criteria, buyer persona,…;
- anticipate your competition: "killer features", buyer preferences, developer interviewing,…;
- keeping an eye innovation: patents, trends,…
The goals of this conference are to:
- Introduce different methods in CI and MR;
- Give you the keys to apply it clearly in your company;
- Share external case studies (including Amadeus IT Group, and Montreal-based companies);
- Share our internal case study at CleverToday.

PESTLE can be rightly called a thorough view on the external environment in which an organization is operating in. On the contrary though, SWOT analysis is the analysis on the internal environment of the company based on its products etc. SWOT tends to be more product/service specific as an individual or an entity conducts this analysis based on that product/service.

SWOT AnalysisWhat is a SWOT AnalysisA .docxssuserf9c51d
SWOT Analysis
What is a SWOT Analysis
A SWOT Analysis or SWOT Matrix is a planning method for exploring the four major aspects of a business venture,
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats.
This information can be interpreted in numerous ways:
in the form of detailed reports or as a presentation, using SWOT analysis templates.
A SWOT analysis can help explore the critical aspects of an organization’s products, projects and even its reputation and goodwill.
What is a SWOT Analysis, cont.
What makes SWOT particularly powerful is that it can help you uncover opportunities that you are well-placed to exploit.
And by understanding the weaknesses of your business, you can manage and eliminate threats that would otherwise catch you unawares.
In a business context, the SWOT analysis enables organizations to identify both internal and external influences. Outside of business, other organizations have found much use in the method's guiding principles.
When examining the potential for a new business or product, a SWOT analysis can help determine the likely risks and rewards
When to use a SWOT
SWOT is meant to be used during the proposal stage of strategic planning. It acts as a precursor to any sort of company action, which makes it appropriate for the following moments:
Exploring avenues for new initiatives
Making decisions about execution strategies for a new policy
Identifying possible areas for change in a program
Refining and redirecting efforts midplan
The SWOT analysis is an excellent tool for organizing information, presenting solutions, identifying roadblocks and emphasizing opportunities.
SWOT Analysis Matrix – Business/Marketing
Modern SWOT analysis in business and marketing situations is normally structured so that a 2x2 matrix grid can be produced, according to two pairs of dimensions.
Strengths and Weaknesses, are 'mapped' or 'graphed' against Opportunities and Threats.
Strengths and Weaknesses are regarded distinctly as internal factors
Opportunities and Threats are regarded distinctly as external factors.
SWOT MatrixStrengths and WeaknessesThe internal environment - the situation inside the company or organizationFor example, factors relating to products, pricing, costs, profitability, performance, quality, people, skills, adaptability, brands, services, reputation, processes, infrastructure, etc.Factors tend to be in the present Opportunities and ThreatsThe external environment - the situation outside the company or organizationFor example, factors relating to markets, sectors, audience, fashion, seasonality, trends, competition, economics, politics, society, culture, technology, environmental, media, law, etc.Factors tend to be in the future

In a SWOT analysis, which stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, the term "threats" refers to external factors that could potentially hinder or negatively impact the success, growth, or stability of an individual, organization, project, or endeavor. Threats are elements outside of the entity's control that could pose challenges or risks and may need to be addressed strategically. Here's a deeper exploration of threats within the context of a SWOT analysis:
1. Competitive Threats:
Competition from rival organizations or businesses can threaten market share, customer loyalty, and overall performance. These threats might include the emergence of new competitors, disruptive technologies, aggressive marketing strategies, or the entry of established players into the same market.
2. Economic Threats:
Economic conditions, such as recessions, inflation, currency fluctuations, or changes in consumer spending habits, can impact the financial stability and profitability of an entity. Economic threats may lead to reduced demand for products or services, decreased revenue, and financial strain.
3. Regulatory and Legal Threats:
Changes in laws, regulations, or compliance requirements can create challenges for businesses, especially if they're unprepared or non-compliant. Legal threats could include lawsuits, regulatory fines, or shifts in industry standards that affect operations, product development, or market access.
4. Technological Threats:
Rapid technological advancements can threaten the relevance and competitiveness of businesses that fail to keep up. Failure to adopt or adapt to new technologies could lead to obsolete products or services, reduced efficiency, or loss of market share.
5. Environmental Threats:
Environmental factors such as natural disasters, climate change, or resource shortages can impact supply chains, operations, and overall business continuity. Organizations need to consider how these threats might affect their operations and develop contingency plans.
6. Social and Cultural Threats:
Shifts in societal values, cultural norms, or consumer preferences can threaten the viability of products or services that are out of sync with changing trends. Negative perceptions or public backlash can also pose threats to reputation and brand image.
7. Demographic Threats:
Changes in demographics, such as aging populations or shifts in target customer profiles, can affect demand for specific products or services. Failure to adapt to these changes may lead to decreased sales and market relevance.
8. Supplier or Partner Threats:
Dependence on a single supplier or partner can become a threat if they face financial issues, quality problems, or disruptions in their operations. Reliance on a single source can lead to supply chain vulnerabilities.
SWOT analysis (or SWOT matrix) is a strategic planning technique used to help a person or organization identify the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related to business competition or project planning.
SWOT analysis is commonly viewed as an instrument for identifying an organization’s Strengths and Weaknesses, two internal attributes, and Opportunities and Threats, two external factors.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Editor's Notes
What makes SWOT particularly powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you uncover opportunities that you are well placed to take advantage of. And by understanding the weaknesses of your project, you can manage and eliminate threats that would otherwise catch you unawares. More than this, by looking at yourself and your competitors using the SWOT framework, you can start to craft a strategy that helps you distinguish yourself from your competitors, so that you can compete successfully in your market. The first thing to remember is that the analysis should provide you with information that helps in making decisions. As such, laundry-lists of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are not unto themselves helpful. It is only when the potential implications of this information on the organization is conducted that you start to get any really meaningful analysis.
