How To Create an Involvement Matrix

The Involvement Matrix can identify the distribution of responsibilities and identify roles in a group or team. This matrix can be used company wide. The Involvement Matrix identifies participants who are involved in corrective actions. The Involvement Matrix is constructed for all highly prioritized corrective actions. It uses symbols to assign who participates, performs, consults, should be informed, checks the work, and accepts the results. Using visual diagrams keeps ideas clear and is very effective when discussing the problem and a description of the solution. They are great at helping to quickly see what stage of the problem-solving effort is currently underway.It defines the participants and their roles. The matrix displays all of the parties involved, defines their level of involvement, and the nature of their participation. The ability to create an Involvement Matrix is supported by the ConceptDraw Seven Management and Planning Tools solution.

SWOT Analysis

"The name says it: Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat. A SWOT analysis guides you to identify the positives and negatives inside your organization (S-W) and outside of it, in the external environment (O-T). Developing a full awareness of your situation can help with both strategic planning and decision-making.
The SWOT method (which is sometimes called TOWS) was originally developed for business and industry, but it is equally useful in the work of community health and development, education, and even personal growth.
SWOT is not the only assessment technique you can use, but is one with a long track record of effectiveness. The strengths of this method are its simplicity and application to a variety of levels of operation."
