Question 5.

5. What practical uses do you see for situational analysis in your life?

The first things which come to mind are career choices and maybe even major purchases like a home. A possible trap, certainly for me, is paralysis by analysis. If I were to do rigorous examination in areas of my life, I often find myself stopping and just doing. I could easily spend enormous amounts of time planning therefore a certain level of understanding is needed and a decision must be made. I often think I all ready employ variants of situational analysis as learned in this class in my personal life. With an engineering background, analysis is sometimes the bane of my existence.
