SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Strategic planning often starts with undocumented assumptions about the market and internal capabilities. This Skill structures the environmental analysis stage of a strategic planning cycle, producing evidence-based SWOT, PESTEL, and Porter's Five Forces assessments that feed directly into gap analysis and strategy formulation. ## Core Features & Use Cases - SWOT Analysis: Four-quadrant assessment with evidence-backed strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, including SO/WO/ST/WT strategy synthesis via a ready-to-use template. - PESTEL Macro-Environment Scan: Six-dimension analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Ecological, Legal) with significance ratings and opportunity/threat classification. - Porter's Five Forces: Competitive intensity scoring on a 1-5 scale with a detailed reference guide covering each force, its drivers, and strategic implications. - Use Case: At the start of an annual planning cycle, after documenting organizational context, run this analysis to produce a validated environmental-analysis.md artifact that stakeholders review before moving to gap analysis. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to run a strategic environmental analysis for your organization, producing SWOT, PESTEL, and Five Forces assessments using the included templates.

Frequently Asked Questions about sp-analysis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a SWOT analysis for strategic planning?▼

Use the SWOT template to document up to five items per quadrant, each backed by concrete evidence or data. Separate internal factors (strengths, weaknesses) from external ones (opportunities, threats), then derive SO, WO, ST, and WT strategy combinations from the results.

What is the difference between PESTEL and Porter's Five Forces?▼

PESTEL analyzes macro-environmental factors across six dimensions (political, economic, social, technological, ecological, legal), while Five Forces examines industry structure and competitive intensity. PESTEL feeds opportunities and threats; Five Forces explains sector profitability pressures.

When should I skip the environmental analysis step?▼

Skip it if a completed analysis exists from the last six months and the environment has not materially changed. Also skip it for purely operational projects without strategic components, where DMAIC or PDCA methods fit better.

How do I score Porter's Five Forces intensity?▼

Rate each force on a 1-5 scale where 1 means very low pressure and 5 means very high pressure, grounding each score in two to three concrete data points. Subtract the total from 30 to estimate sector attractiveness.

What are common mistakes in SWOT analysis?▼

Common mistakes include listing items without evidence, exceeding five items per quadrant, and confusing external opportunities with internal weaknesses. A SWOT built in a single two-hour session without prior data collection is brainstorming, not analysis.
