processes to be followed.

One of the component of strategic analyses is


the use of tool analysis or the different methods
to identify and address the threats and
problems.
Types Of Strategic Analysis

There is no standard strategic analysis “format”;


rather, there are a number of methodologies
available to help guide you through the process
of collecting and analyzing relevant data for
strategy planning. Two of the most commonly
used methods are SWOT and PESTLE.
a. SWOT analysis
(which stands for strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats) helps organizations
identify where they’re doing well and where they
can improve, both from an internal and external
perspective.

Strengths and weaknesses are considered


internal factors, and opportunities and threats
are considered external factors.
It is a tool analysis used to know the strength,
weaknesses (internal factors), opportunities and
threats (external factors) in an organization to
achieve a goal.
• Internal factors- are factors within the
company, the strength and weakness of the
company/organization.
• External factors- are affecting factors outside
the company that affects the plan of the
company/organization.
b. PESTLE analysis
focuses entirely on external factors in the political,
economic, social, technological, environmental, and
legal realms that your organization can’t control but
should prepare for.

Such an analysis might call attention to things like


changing tax legislation, new laws or legal procedures,
fluctuating interest rates, etc. Any change that might
occur and would have a material impact on your
business should be considered in your strategy
planning.
PESTLE stands for (political, economic,
social and technological) is tool used in
an organization that can assess major
external factors that influence its operation
in order to achieve goal and be competitive.

Intuitive thinking

Intuitive thinking is the ability to understand the reality


without using logical reasoning. It uses years of
experiences and your senses to create solution to a
certain problem in the community.

Intuitive thinking can actually create solution without


using tool analysis as long as there’s a lot of
experiences and expertise and at the same time social
networks can be used to create solutions.
