Scenario

As Healthy Dynamics (HD) moves forward in the development of their strategic plan, it is important to understand where the company is strong, where it is weak, the major opportunities the company can explore, and possible threats. HD currently offers customized wellness programs to their clients, which include all or some of the following services: health assessments, biometric screenings, and telephonic health coaching. Telephonic coaching calls have dropped by 25% over the last year, and requests for onsite biometric screenings have increased by 15%, while health assessments are still being administered by paper. The company has over 500 employees, all working onsite at a five-floor commercial-leased building that includes an onsite fitness center, cafeteria, and breakrooms on each floor.

The staff consist of the following team members (10) in leadership, (30) information technology, (5) marketing, (250) health coaches, (20) account managers, (5) strategic planning managers, (5) administrative, (2) human resource directors, (3) benefit managers, (200) biometric screeners, and (10) contract managers. The cafeteria staff are not employees of the company and cost HD $500,000 per year. The company revenue has continued to decline by 15-25% over the last five years. If this trend continues for another two years, the company will be bankrupt. Customer satisfaction rates are declining, yet they are still considered one of the top competitors in the wellness industry.

You have been tasked with assessing the strategic position of the business and its environment. Some options currently under consideration are company restructuring, merger, acquisition, and adding or removing services. To provide a clear snapshot to help the company understand where it stands, you will explore key issues by creating a SWOT Analysis.

Instructions
Create a SWOT Analysis that includes:

The Strengths of Healthy Dynamics within the wellness industry
The Weaknesses of Healthy Dynamics within the wellness industry
The Opportunities available to Healthy Dynamics within the wellness industry (or research potential opportunities by branching into a new industry)
The Threats to Healthy Dynamics within the wellness industry (or research potential threats from companies whose primary business is in another, related industry, or from disruptive technologies that potentially threaten all companies in an industry)

Conduct an environmental scan and write an assessment in which you focus on both the internal and external factors that could affect your success within your chosen industry.

Introduction
After an organization has completed a SWOT analysis, it will carefully monitor both the internal and external environments to detect signs of opportunities and threats that could affect current and future plans. This environmental scanning can help an organization identify trends that are most likely to affect the industry, thereby allowing the development of a strategy for change. The right information, at the right time, can determine the future of an organization.

Note: Developing a strategic plan requires specific steps that need to be executed in a sequence. The assessments in this course are presented in order and should be completed in sequence.

Conduct a personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis. In your analysis, consider the following:

Strengths
What advantages do you have that others do not (skills, education, experience, certifications)?
What achievements are you most proud of?
What do you do better than anyone else?
What do you think others would see as your strengths?
Do you have special connections that others may not have?
What personal resources do you have available?
Be sure to consider how others see you—not just how you see yourself.

Weaknesses
Are there tasks you avoid doing because you do not feel confident doing them?
Do you have any negative work habits (often late, disorganized, easily stressed)?
Do you feel confident about your skills, experience, and education?
Do you have any personality traits that might hold you back? For example, do you have a fear of public speaking, yet work where you are expected to conduct regular meetings?

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:

Do you think organizations differ from each other when placing importance on areas of the SWOT analysis?
Describe a real-world example of an organization that would place more importance on one area of the SWOT analysis compared to another area.
