1 What is SWOT analysis?

SWOT analysis is a strategic tool that helps you evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a project, product, service, or organization. It can help you identify the internal and external factors that influence your success and failure, and provide a basis for developing action plans and solutions. SWOT analysis can be applied to any level of process design, from the overall vision and mission to the specific tasks and activities.

2 How to conduct a SWOT analysis?

To conduct a SWOT analysis, you need to gather relevant information and data about your process design and its context. You can use various sources, such as surveys, interviews, observations, reports, benchmarks, or feedback. Then, you need to organize the information into four categories: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are the internal factors that you can control or influence, such as your skills, resources, capabilities, or processes. Opportunities and threats are the external factors that you cannot control or influence, but can affect your process design positively or negatively, such as market trends, customer needs, competitors, or regulations.

Conducting SWOT analysis starts from acknoledging that the organisation operations are not yet where it ought to be and having a progressive mindset. Building on this foundation, information will be gathered with a focus on the current situation of the organisation and its desired future state.

3 How to use SWOT analysis for process design?

Once you have completed your SWOT analysis, you can analyze the relationships between the four categories to identify process design opportunities and threats. Ask yourself how you can use your strengths to take advantage of the opportunities or overcome the threats. Consider how you can improve your weaknesses to avoid or reduce the impact of the threats or seize the opportunities. Determine how you can leverage the opportunities to enhance your strengths or mitigate your weaknesses, and how you can minimize the threats to protect your strengths or exploit your weaknesses. Answering these questions will generate ideas and solutions that can help you improve your process design and achieve your goals. Prioritize the most important or urgent issues and create action plans and timelines to implement them.

Organisational process design is based on three keywords "Creating", "Improving", and "Managing". A functional process are built to leverage on strength and to improve on their weakness, to be able to tap into the opportunities before them, as well as the potential threat that might grind the organisation. For this to be possible, a proper SWOT analysis is needed. A continous SWOT analysis will help the organisation to manage, adjust, and adapt to the dynamics enviroment they are operating on.

Opportunities and Threats are external points of consideration. Whereas Strengths and weaknesses are important internal considerations.
