System evaluation by the analyst, is very week, since the analyst is the one who knows exactly how the application have to work, and he will do every step exactly the way it is supposed to be, and that way is dificult to discover bugs or wrong functionality.\nSystem evaluation by an independent evaluation team, can be a good option, but only if the evaluation team knows very well the functionality that is required by the system.\nSystem evaluation by the client organization, should be done at final stage, and it's supposed to be done, where you and the evaluation team have done the work and you are pretty sure that there won't be almost any errors.

SWOT = Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats\n\n1. List Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of Dover relative to other ports.\n2. List Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats that Dover possesses in absolute terms, not relative to other ports.\n\nThink about what TYPEs of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats there are, such as -\n\nBusiness Facilities\nTransport Links\nLegal Threats\nChanges in legislation and treaties by the UK Government, EU, WTO, etc\nEducation/skill-level of local workers\nAttractiveness of the area to attract key staff\nEase of commuting to Dover by people living in France.\nHouse-prices and trends\nDemographic trends\nPopulation shift within the UK and to/from the UK\nPopulation growth\nAll types of trends.\nHow predictable is the future for each port/business\nTerrorist threat to each port/transport link.\nRisks from global-warming, such as sea-level rise, flooding, accessability of harbours, sea-conditions, etc.\n\nMake a very long list.\n\nIn the investment book "The Buffetology Workbokbook", it explains that Warren Buffett, the world's 2nd richest man, when making investment decisions, divides businesses into 'Fortress' businesses' with high-barriers to entry by competitors (protected by patents, trade-marks, a strong brand (like Gillette razor blades), high start-up costs like Boeing or Airbus or a Drug Company) and 'Commodity Businesses', such as hair-dressers or clothes-shops, where your product or service is indistinguishable from anyone elses and almost anyone can start up a rival business selling the same product or service, driving down prices. You need to think - What type is yours? If yours is a commodity-business, how do you intend to outperform other similar businesses and defend your profits from rivals.\n\nDividing businesses into 'Fortress Businesses' and 'Commodity Businesses' gives you a whole new way to think of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats.\n\nOther ways to identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats are :-\n\nList the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats of other similar or dis-similar businesses.\n\nLook at each factor of the business and ask yourself - Is there an upper limit to how far the aspect can be expanded/grown and what are the contraints e.g land, labour, office-space, roads, etc.\n\nOne source to find a list of Threats is to read the annual reports of big American companies such as General Motors on the Investor Relations section of their websites. These list common business threats/risks that investors are entitles to know about, such as litigation, intellectual property disputes, strikes, accidents, etc. If you read the reports of several companies, you can make a list of the threats to your own business.\n\n-------------\n\nNow that you've said it's an american sportswear manufacturer, some strengths of the UK are :-\n\nEnglish Language\nSimilar Legal System, especially compared with France, which uses the Napoleonic Code.\nLow minimum wage\nLabour Laws make it much easier to hire and fire workers.\nEasier immigration means that there is no shortage of minimum-wage employees from eastern-europe and the rest of the EU.\nSimilar Business Culture\nSimilar Stockmarket System and Culture\nSimilar Intellectual Property Laws\nTime zone: 1 more hour of time overlap with US compared with CET.\nUK Suppliers, partner-companies, transport companies, etc, also speak English, operate under UK law and have all the above advantages.\n\nWeaknesses of the UK :-\n\nOther countries give more grants, regional aid and tax-breaks\nShorter/cheaper transport links\nThreat of disruption to transport links, such as the channel-tunnel

Good series.\nI'd just add one thing to #22:\n\n"Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation, golf, or sex."\n\n:)

Structured Interviews, as you would've already laid the skeleton for your thoughts and views, you will not hear (or ignore) some information, which could be useful or be the key. However, i guess this wil depend on personal experience and habits.

All these things can be worked on to improve and most of the people are not natural on these. Communication is a technique that must be learned. Personally, I try to identify my problems and work on it.It helps a lot!
