I have created as part of my Personal Development Planning a number of different strategic exercises to measure my development and performance. One of these is my SWOT analysis.
A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis is a planning exercise designed to focus on the positive and negative factors which could support or impede the result of a given goal. A SWOT analysis is typically done at the beginning of a project. I am doing this at the beginning of my university course to try and work out the factors which could limit my performance and threaten the goal I want to achieve – in my case, a university degree.
