14 EXERCISE: SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats Activity: Individually identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats- write on post-its Individual inputs will be shared with the group Group evaluation and theme identification

15 Discussion of SWOT Any obvious themes emerging? If so, what are they? When considering our five current Strategic Focus Areas- are any new strategic focus areas coming to light, or do we need to adjust the details on the ones we have? Do we have any Focus Areas that need to be replaced/updated?

16 Identifying Strategic Choices

17 Strategic Objectives Strategic objectives drive the key activities (key areas of work) that are required to achieve each long-term, strategic focus. You may wish to refer back to your SWOT, to check that all factors (both internal and external) that may have a bearing on your objectives have been taken into account. Consider each long-term focus and list up to four objectives that will: Have the greatest impact; Make best use of resources; Help achieve the strategic focus (and hence the center s mission).

18 GRAPES Strategic Focus Areas and Goals 1. Consistently Advance Power Electronics Technology i. The deployment of distributed energy resources (applications) ii. The use of demand side management systems (applications) iii. The control of power flows (applications) iv. Develop supporting PE technologies (technology) 2. Provide Stakeholder Value i. GRAPES is producing students that the members want to hire. ii. GRAPES works to further engage members to address technical issues that are relevant to them. 3. Perform as a Model Organization i. GRAPES has a healthy membership that maintains a critical mass of ii. the different types of members. GRAPES has solid participation in all meetings, advance materials are available, and website is up to date.
