1 SWOT Analysis

SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It is a simple but powerful tool that helps you identify the internal and external factors that affect your decision. You can use a SWOT analysis to assess your current situation, explore new possibilities, or compare different alternatives. To conduct a SWOT analysis, you need to create a matrix with four quadrants and list the relevant items in each one. Then, you can use the information to devise strategies that leverage your strengths, address your weaknesses, exploit your opportunities, and mitigate your threats.

Pro tip - make SWOT a living analysis by assessing the trends and future state of each topic, not just as the current snapshot.

2 Decision Matrix

A decision matrix is a tool that helps you rank and prioritize your options based on multiple criteria. It is useful when you have several alternatives that have different pros and cons. To create a decision matrix, you need to list your options as rows and your criteria as columns. Then, you need to assign a weight to each criterion based on its importance and a score to each option based on how well it meets the criterion. Finally, you need to multiply the weights and the scores and sum them up for each option. The option with the highest total score is the most preferred one.

3 Scenario Planning

Scenario planning is a tool that helps you anticipate and prepare for different future outcomes. It is helpful when you face a high level of uncertainty or complexity in your decision. To use scenario planning, you need to identify the key drivers and uncertainties that affect your decision and create a set of plausible scenarios that reflect different combinations of these factors. Then, you need to analyze the implications and risks of each scenario and develop contingency plans or actions that can help you adapt or influence the future.

Less can be more with scenario planning. Identify a few big, underlying trends that could happen and asses scenarios for those. It can be better to do thoughtful analyses of a handful of big and likely scenarios instead of doing superficial analysis of many less important scenarios.

4 Stakeholder Analysis

Stakeholder analysis is a tool that helps you identify and understand the interests, needs, and expectations of the people who are affected by or involved in your decision. It is important when you need to communicate, collaborate, or negotiate with others in your decision making process. To conduct a stakeholder analysis, you need to map out the stakeholders according to their power, influence, and attitude towards your decision. Then, you need to prioritize and engage them according to their level of importance and interest and address their concerns or objections.
