What is a Situational Assessment?
We are big on targeting and precision here at Uhuru. When we do something, we do it with purpose. We don’t make a lot of guesses, because that could lead to waste—a waste of money, time, effort, and other staff resources for both parties in an engagement. And we believe you should operate this way, too. A situational assessment will help you figure out the very best moves to make depending on the situation rather than employing a more generic, blanket solution.
Does This Sound Familiar?
We Are Struggling to Find a Method to Analyze Our Company’s Environment
Your company environment should be an analysis of all the internal and external factors that can influence the influx and efflux of your business. To address specific issues and do what is needed, you need to be able to examine your current situation and use data to steer your path. We can help you do this.
Our Situational Analysis Factors Are Too Broad and We Don’t Understand the Data
How can you utilize gathered data as a map for your strategy if you don’t know what the numbers are telling you? If you are unable to translate the results of your situational assessment, having all the right tools will be meaningless. Understanding how to segment your results to gain insight is the only way you will be able to discover opportunities.
Our Data Lacks Distinguishing Factors
You are doing these assessments to take the rendered information and put them into actionable steps for the betterment of your business. If you can’t understand what the data tells you, you can’t be productive with the information. Distinguishing the data that will be impactful, takes experience and expertise, this is what we will bring to the table.
Why Do You Need a Situational Assessment?
Determine the Strengths and Weakness of Your Business
When a situational assessment is conducted, you can know exactly where you are doing well and where you need to improve upon things. This is the best way to make a plan moving forward. You may have established your company’s strengths and weaknesses, but haven’t established the best way to take advantage of those factors, this is where you can rely on Uhuru.
Identify Dynamic Marketing Opportunities
Your analysis will show the gaps and illuminate the best way forward, so all the best marketing methods can be utilized successfully. We ensure you are made acutely aware of more than just the “data”, but how that data translates into marketing opportunities. This way, we can develop a roadmap to success for your business.
Determine the Competitive Landscape and How it Compares to Your Business
Your competitive landscape is what will arm you with the weapons to come out on top, ahead of the curve of your competitor. This enables you to see how you compare with your competition and, ultimately, how you can begin to rise above than the rest. Get insight into what they’re doing that you are not yet doing but should be, and what they’re doing wrong that you can avoid.
Determine Threats and Opportunities With an Opportunity and Issue Analysis
Every marketing plan should clearly define the issues and opportunities in order to accurately move forward. Knowing what threats and opportunities exist will help you meet your goals faster—even exceed them. We help you see what’s out there so you have a solid framework upon which to base your transformation.
Determine Key Internal and External Environmental Factors
Not every business will face the same challenges – which is why a comprehensive review of the internal and external factors needs to be customized and constantly reviewed to stay up to date. There are factors that will be specific to your industry, size and other variables. Once you know more about your business, on a deeper level than you have explored before, you can take your sales much farther.
