Question

Compare and contrast SWOT and PDSA. Which of these techniques is utilized in your facility, if any? What improvements have you seen occur through the implementation of these techniques? I How might your facility be improved through the utilization of one or both of these techniques?

Answer 1

SWOT analysis is an analysis which is used for checking out the strength, weakness, threats and opportunity in an organisation where as PDSA cycle is planning and doing along with studying and analysing so both are a different measure where is SWOT analysis is a macro level analysis whereas PDSA cycle is mostly adopted for achieving of the short term objectives.

In my facility, SWOT analysis is more preferred because it will be helpful in order to increase the core competitiveness by finding out the strength and weakness.

I have seen that my firm has gained a large amount of market share by identifying the weakness and working upon the strength

I think organisation should be trying to proactively determine various opportunities in order to capitalise upon it and determine the threat proactively in order to eliminate the threat so that company can gain through proactive analysis.
