ParticipantStrengths – Communication and people skills, hard worker, very organized
Weaknesses – Have a hard time saying no sometimesFebruary 9, 2024 at 2:21 pm in reply to: Create a SWOT analysis of your current or anticipated ITAM program. #51304Stuart Swale
ParticipantStrengths – Our asset tagging and inventory are very accurate. We have a very strong system in place that the company are all on board with.
Opportunities – Potential for more advanced software to keep track of inventory and eliminate spreadsheets.
Weaknesses – We do not have proper standards for certain makes/models of hardware accessories. This allows users to custom order some expensive unnecessary items at times.
Threats – Lack of a cost charge system for users losing items. Most users are not aware there is no penalty for lost/damaged assets so we are ok but this is a big looming threat.February 9, 2024 at 2:13 pm in reply to: Describe a time when there was a miscommunication and explain how you handled it. #51303Stuart Swale
