<span id="docs-internal-guid-20389045-e36a-7fe8-b435-3aeda56392da"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The SWOT approach can be used to analyze this offering. With this in mind, strenghtsstrengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats are analyzed. </span></span>
'''Strenghts''' of the program feature the fact that the program not only offers help in building up a business into a strategic and efficient entity, but simulataneously provides training in product development and design thinking that takes a customer hypothesis, turns it into problem hypothesis, and arrives at the solution hypothesis. This starting process is then repeated for 1st Pivot, 2nd Pivot, etc. After performing design experiments, the goal is to arrive at validated and/or invalidated results.
'''Weaknesses''' of the program are not apparent, but the weaknesses of their website and staff are apparent. The website assumes that its audience has some minor background in business. Coming from a different field of expertise, this poses a challenge for companies that don't necessarily have business representatives. This is by no means a good thing, particularly when combined with the fact that upon requesting their offered materials, they have not sent them to me at all. Dealing solely with the concise information on the website, the program is not as clear as it could be with a few minor improvements.
'''Opportunities''' <span id="docs-internal-guid-20389045-e36a-7fe8-b435-3aeda56392da"><span style="font-size: 11pt;that may improve this resource would be excellent customer supportfont-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, improving 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strengths of the ease of access to information on program features the fact that the organizationprogram not only offers help in building up a business into a strategic and efficient entity, such as providing accessible but simultaneously provides training in product development and available email addresses or email contact formsdesign thinking that takes a customer hypothesis, turns it into problem hypothesis, transcribing their Validation Board (see bottom of and arrives at the section) into a verbalized set of stepssolution hypothesis. This starting process is then repeated for 1st Pivot, 2nd Pivot, etc. After performing design experiments, while not revealing full details of the goal is to arrive at validated and/or invalidated results. The programas a whole has also demonstrated its ability to be replicated across the nation, which is something many accelerators struggle with the purposes of still maintaing customer interest in them.</span></span>
'''Threats <span id="docs-internal-guid-20389045-e36a-7fe8-b435-3aeda56392da"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;'''that may arrise would be any potential government billscolor: rgb(0, larger consulting companies that are more renowned0, 0); background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another key point of difference and strength is the duration of the workshop. Because of it’s intermediate length, competition that there is available sufficient time to cram in a lot of information while making the program shorter than say a 10 week or summer long project. The workshop gives its users the appropriate footing to take off once they leave on the consulting market (third day. To compare this to programs such as more competitive offerings I-Corp or The Commons, Milwaukee startup accelerators, which take about 10 once-a-week meetups to complete, they are able to get a company off of the ground and running in terms a matter of qualitythree consecutive days. This allows companies and users to get in and get out with precision, approach, and cost)so they can continue on with their expansion as soon as possible. </span></span>
