SMART Analysis

The SMART analysis is a very interesting concept that I learned in ENTR 3000. I found this concept to be interesting because I see it as something that I can apply to my personal situations. By doing so, I feel I can reduce the risk of making any mistakes at handling situations that I am confronted with.

SMART is an acronym for:

                                    Situation - immediate reason why this message is necessary now

                                    Message - essence of the message is reduced to a single phrase

                                    Audience – primary receiver as well as a key characteristic

                                    Response – immediate action you need from the audience

                                    Tool – strategic choice of delivery device

An example of using this concept to a personal situation of mine is given below:

                                    Situation – being bullied during high-school by fellow classmate

                                    Message – I did not do anything wrong or offensive

                                    Audience – the bully beating me up

                                    Response – want bully to stop beating me up so that I can be happy

                                    Tool – face to face

If anyone else has any examples of their own that they can apply this concept too, feel free to go ahead and analyze your own situation.
