Damsel in Distress Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hello everyone. I thought this might be a fun exercise for those with time on their hands. We could do a SWOT analysis of each team. Today we will do an analysis of Team Jon Snow. I will check back next week and if the forum enjoys we can continue with Team Robb. The other teams will follow. S - Strengths W - Weaknesses O - Opportunities T - Threats S Are the advantages the team has over other teams. What this team does better than any other team. What resources the team has. W Are the weaknesses this team has compared to other teams. What can the team improve. What resources do they lack. O How the team can turn their strengths to achieve their objective. What the team can do to better the competition. T What could prevent the team from reaching its objectives. What could harm the team. What the competing teams can do that can hurt the team. The links below gives more info on this business tool. https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTMC_05.htm I so hope you will enjoy this exercise. You can make it simple or as complicated as you like. Please use the format below. ______________ Team Name: Jon Snow and the Night Watch Team: Jon Snow, the Night Watch, and the Wildlings under Thormund Team Objective: Time: Analyze the team during the time period when they were at peace. In other words, before the pink letter. S: W: O: T: _______________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigo Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Some strengths: A supreme defensive position relative to their main threat (as they see it). Excellent know-how (if not resources) when it comes to construction and training. Plenty of room for expansion :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucius Lovejoy Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Team Snow/NW/Wildlings pre-pink letter, evaluated on their objective of surviving winter and the potential invasion of the others. S: the Wall as a defense from attacks on the north, resources from the Iron Bank loan, familiarity with winter and the enemy, support from King Stannis who shares their objective. W: not enough food, not enough manpower, lack of support from current warden of the North or King Tommen, humans get cold and tired during winter O: Rally unified support of north and more manpower/supplies if King Stannis takes winterfell, can fortify abandoned castles along the wall to improve defenses T: internal turmoil, lack of team discipline, could be flanked from shadow tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damsel in Distress Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 It's not a popular topic! Oh well. Being a major in strategic business management gives me an appreciation for these business tools. Here's my own analysis of the watch. S - They have been around for a long time. Most of the men are loyal. They know the north very well. The wall itself is a strong defensive barrier. W - Lack of numbers. Inexperienced lord commander. Lord commander is not totally dedicated to the watch. Jon is the weakest link because he takes sides in the wars of the realm. O - They increased their numbers with wildlings. They got a loan from the bank. T - The White Walkers. Jon's own feelings and his inability to forget the Starks got them in trouble with the Boltons.

Bowen 747 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Strengths They're defending from a good position. I.E., they have the high ground. They know the enemy is coming. Weaknesses Too many mouths to feed. Conflicted leader. The lord commander has personal interest that could hurt the watch. Opportunities They have time to prepare. The enemy hates the sunlight. Obsidian kills the enemy. Threats The Others. Starvation. Wildling mutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, before the pink letter. S: The wall. They're fighting from behind a 700' wall. They have men who know how to fight. They have a red witch on their side. W: Their Lord Commander has personal issues with the Warden of the North and his son. Jon is not fit to lead and command. The wildlings are lacking in discipline. O: They still have a chance to get help from the lords. They had a chance to talk Stannis to give up his claim and take the Black in exchange for Bolton support. T: The WW obviously. Cold. Lack of unity. Lack of long term food supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
